Need help finding a set of wheels

Hey guys, I've currently got a set of 17x9 Eagle Alloys on my truck with 4.5" of backspacing. A friend of mine is interested in buying my wheels from me so I'm shopping around for a new set. I've currently got 33's and would like to be able to move up to 35's the next time I get tires. I've got a 2.5" leveling kit and from what I understand I need a 17x8 wheel with 5.5" of backspacing for the 35's to fit. If anyone's running some wheels on their truck that are that size, I'd love to know what wheels they are. Thanks for the help.

An 8 inch wide wheel with 5.5 inches of BS is not very common. PawPaw had some at one time, but I can't remember what they were.

Unfortunately, after hours of searching, I noticed it was an uncommon size. Haha. I thought I remembered seeing that PawPaw had some in this size at one time. Sent him a PM and am waitin on him to get back to me.

Vtec raptors from discounttiredirect.com come in that size. They have a couple different finishes.

American Racing "Fuel" wheels show available in 17x8 with a +25 offset which should be a 5.5 BS. The American Racing "Crush" wheels I had were discontinued. These are when I had the 315x70x17 BFG AT's on them.
