If I remember correctly, I ran a 15 x 8 with 5.5" backspace to clear a 30 x 9. I also ran a very minimal spacer (1/8") on one side to center it in the space available.

great, thank you and I will from now on.

On mine, a 9" wheel with centered backspacing (4.5") fits perfectly.

8's and 10's are the most common sizes. Companies like Bogart, etc. will make any width you'd like. Weld makes their Pro Star in a 9" width with a centered b.s. that would make a nice wheel without going the 'custom' route.

Champion wheel will make you what you want with backspacing in 1/4" increments. Light, look great and reasonably priced. http://www.championbillet.com/

Backspacing is generally done from the edge of the wheel to the mounting surface, so it includes the thickness of the rim from the tire to the edge, usually about 1/2 inch. So, zero offset on a 9" wheel would mean a backspace of 5".
