Default Question on soft 8s 17x9 rims

Ok im looking at buying a used set of cragars soft 8s 17x9 (maybe 10) he thinks there 10s but i can not find information on 17x10s.. So i,m going to ask the question for either size.

the back spacing on these rims (cragars website ) has them at 5in BS
My tires are 33x12.5 pro comps
I know the BS should be around 3.75 to 4.5
my question is has anyone run this BS with out using spacers?
Did ya have rubbing ? if so were? and what size tire did you run 35? 37? 33?

thanks

The 17x9 ET0 (5"BS) will work with tires up to 35" in diameter. With 33's mounted, you will not need spacers.
