Do 16.5" wheels with 3" or less backspacing exist?

With my flares (I'd toss them if they wouldn't leave behind a billion tiny holes in my fenders), my street tires look pretty puny so I end up running my TSL's way too much on pavement. My street tires are 37x12.50x16.5 Goodyear MT's (hummer radials) on 16.5x9.75 aluminum wheels with like 4.5-4.75" backspacing. They just tuck in too far and look kind of silly with big cut fenders and flares. I know I should just drive it and not worry about how it looks, but I would love to find some wheels that give it a wider stance so it doesn't look so silly. Does a 16.5 inch wheel, preferably in the 8 inch wide range, exist that has low backspacing? I've been hunting around and can't seem to find anything.
 
i dont think they do. you could run the rims you got and run 2" spacers front and rear

Unfortunately I don't really have anything new to post, she's pretty much just been holding the driveway down since vet school started. Hopefully I'll be able to get some action shots sometime this summer. If nothing else I'll snap some shots after I get my back bumper finished in a couple of weeks.

I think spacers may be the way I go. Of course that means 64 lug nuts to deal with for tire swaps, but it may be the cheapest option since wheels and tires will likely get in my pocket a little too much.

Anyone have any 1.5"-2" thick, 8 on 6.5 spacers to sell? I'll need all four corners.

Do any of our vendors sell these?
