Default tie rod with 15" wheels

I'm looking to upgrade my tie rod, but all the tie rods I've seen say they need a 17" wheel with 4 1/2 backspace to work, but I have 15" with I believe a 4 1/2 backspace. Anyone know any tie rods that would be compatible with the smaller wheels?

The same topic but elsewhere suggests that a synergy rod with the right ends will work behind 15's, but you'll have to search for it.
