Question Show Me Your 17X9 Rims With 4.5 Backspacing

Like the title says, I want to see pictures of what a 9" wide rim looks like with a 4.5 Backspacing or -12 offset. I just recently purchased rims with these specs and want to see how far they stick out of the wheel well before I decide to put rubber on them or try to return them.

Thanks

That looks really good, how far do they stick past the fender? I can't really tell.

Mine are 17X9 with 4.53 Backspacing and -12mm offset

Here's what I'm looking at with mine. Is this about what yours is looking like?

That looks really good as well! It's just really hard to imagine how mine would look without a tire mounted to the rim, I can't return them after a tire is mounted on them.

Is that a 4.5 backspace, or really a 4.5 offset? Thanks

Oh sorry I think it's around 4.5 backspace. They are 17x9 KMC Enduro XD 122's if you wanna check for sure. I love the look but it sprays water all over the side and it rains all the time here in Portland, OR...

Haha Oregon does rain quite a bit, my sister lives in West Linn, so we're up there couple times a year or so.

Cool, I'll have to look into it, it just seems my rims stick out pretty far and I'm not sure if that's normal for the look I want.
