help pick 17"ers on a 70 Swinger

Nothing beats the classic slot style rims in my book. American racing A697865 it is a 17X8" 5 on 4.5 with 4.5"backspacing. I have found them for around $150 per rim.

The way I read RMS's tech page I don't think any of the 17" slotted mags will work on the front with the alterkation. Not enough backspace - will stick out too far. I'm currently deciding on wheels tires as well and I have an alterkation up front.
