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.
From the RMS page, Abody Joe, other members etc the Mustang Bullit 17 x 8 with 5.72" BS will fit perfectly. On the front, with the alterkation, I'm taking this to mean with no spacers - just as is. The problem I'm running into is that many of the classic wheels I'm looking for, in 17" diamter, do not have backspacing that deep. I'm fond of the Classic V by ET Wheels, but like many of the wheels I'm looking at that deep of a backspacing does not exist. If I am wrong, and a 17 x 8 with 4.5" BS or 5 1/8" BS will bolt right on up front and look good (not stick out past the fender line) then someone please speak up because that means I'm worrying for nothing.
Sorry to mini-hijack the thread, you just happening to be asking questions that are right at the top of my mind and I want you to be aware of the issues, as I understand them, with front wheel sizing for the ALterK.
