Coys C5's are only available in 4.5 or 4 inch backspace. And the don't really sell the 4 inch backspace often.

That's not true. On their webpage, the first page with C-5's have the first two wheels 17x7 4.25" BS and 17x8 4.5" BS.

Yep, I should have paid more attention. I was referring to the 17x8's. That's the narrowest I run. I forgot this thread was talking about 17x7's.

Well, as an update, I got my wheels in yesterday and unfortunately the 4.3's don't fit with my brakes. Problem is, I have the C5 SSBC upgrade, and it just hits on the outer edge. Glad I didn't get them without tires. Now this is with the medium pad. So I will have to order it with the high pad, which then brings the backspacing to 4.2 so it's kind of a win win. I get clearance for my brakes and also net a tenth of an inch in the direction I wanted. We shall see how it looks. Now just have to wait another 2-3 weeks for the wheel to show up. 🙁
