We're talking past each other here; perhaps my post belonged in the Tracking / Autocrossing section?

If you find a 17X9 that will work in the back, please let us know.

When I was looking, and square 17X9 is what I wanted, the only choice I could find was custom Forgestars. Rather than pay for those, I settled for the opposite of what I wanted: each tire has a dedicated corner. It's workable, just not ideal.
