M/T Wheels

Since we can't really get a 15in wheel for our cars without modifications, how about one of these from M/T? Would any of these work on our cars? Any benefit over the stock 17s?

edit: O.K., the cut and paste from their site didn't work too well. Here's the link and I'm taking about the 17x9s.

I only see one 17" wheel that has a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern, and it has a 4.5" bs. IMO, this wheel would stick out of the fender well by almost 2". I think you would want a backspacing of at least 6.5" on it.

Yeah, I noticed that too as I looked at the numbers some more. Guess it's stocker bullits for now. Figured if I have to pay the shipping here to only go through this once. Maybe I'll wait until next year since the track here is only open one weekend a month through Oct. There may be some wheels out by then.
