Default Low backspace wheels

I'm looking for a wheel that has 4 inches of backspace or maybe a little less. I don't want a beadlock because of the price per wheel, and I'd like to be able to run them w/o spacers. I'm looking for a nice wide stance for my 2dr.

Oh and black wheels would help too.

I have Unique Series 252 simulocks in 16x10. Back spacing is 3.5 so they have a nice wide stance. Got them from Discount Tire for roughly $110/each.

I like that price and rim width. Did you get them recently? How do you like them?

Those are going to place a lot of pressure on the C's, so just be thinking about reenforcement of them if you're widening your stance that much.

I have had them for about a year, and yeah I like them a lot. No issues. There steel with gloss black paint, which has held up fine to the 'salt mine' winter roads up here. Even if they do star to get beat up or ratty, repaint or powder coat and there as good or better than new. I have BFG KM2's in 35x12.5 and they stick out past the fender about an inch and a half, nothing to crazy, but enough to get the look I wanted. I personally can't stand the tall skinny look, I prefer the LCG wide look.
