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.

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

Do all wheel manufactures make a 9 inch wheel?

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.

That is awesome thank you

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".
