The Sidebiters look REALLY good, but all the ones I've found for sale are 17x9 with 4.5" backspacing. I'm more a fan of the fitment of a 17x8....with the same 4.5" backspacing this tucks the wheel under one full inch more. Maybe you guys like when they stick out further...just not for me.
Has anyone seen these for sale as a 17x8?
Unfortunately the pro comp 7005 I put on order last week are on a 60 day lead time!
Needless to say, I am looking for alternatives!

This will not be a good alternative if you want it fast. I have had a set of the MT SideBiters (17x9 5on5) on order since I saw them at SEMA in November.
When I ordered them in November, I was told by MT they would be available mid-December. When they didn't come in, I called Mickey Thompson and they told me mid-January. When they didn't come in, I called them again and they told me end of January. When they didn't come in, I called them again and they told me by the end of February. When they didn't come in, I called them again and they said by mid-March. I called them today to check the status, and guess what - they are now delayed until the end of April.
I have had good experience with MT in the past, but I am done with them now. It is obvious they either do not know how to run a business, or they are just plain lying to keep people from canceling orders. I have had these wheels on order from two different big name vendors to see who could get them first. I canceled both orders today.
I realize MT could care less about me canceling my order, but I will not buy their products again and will happily share my experience and opinion of MT in the future with those that ask.
I would recommend looking elsewhere for a set of wheels - these are not coming anytime soon.
