Ive emailed Stazworks and MRW for prices on 17x9 rockwell beadlocks. Johns at stazworks said 4" is all I could run on a 17x9. Id like to keep it as narrow as possible. Any comments suggestions?
 
flip your hubs in on the rockwells. that will give you about 72.5 inch wms to wms. thats only about 2.5 inches wider than a dana 60.
 
also it depends on if you are running the stock steering arms, or some shorter high steer arms... the issue with 4" BS with the hubs flipped in, is that they hit the arms... but since you have 17s, you might be able to squeeze a tad more...

The wheel will not hit the arm, the tire will if you get to much BS.
 
Go to 20" rims - you can fit all kinds of backspacing. Also, if you ever want to run wheel brakes - much easier fitting it together with 20" rims.
