Default Anyone seen these CCW sizes on a car?

Thinking about picking these up. But now i'm not too sure. T1 sizes aren't even this bad.

17x12 - pair - black centers
Backspacing: 8 11/16
Backspacing with 3/16 spacers: 8 1/2
17x12 = 21.4 lbs.
The rims stick out about 1 1/2 inches.

17x11.5 - pair - black centers
Backspacing: 8 3/16
17x11.5 = 20.4 lbs.
The rims stick out about 1 1/2 inches.
Best to run 1/2 spacers so they don't rub on lower front a-arm.

Thanks for any help!

Sorry, the wheels in question are Classics. I'm just hoping that someone can chime in on this setup, or is running something similar.

I've seen 17 x 12's w/8 3/4 back spacing ran on the back of several C5's without spacers. I run them now on my C4 using 1/4" spacers.

I don't know about the 11.5's. I would call John at CCW.
If you don't want these wheels, I'm VERY interested!

I'd give him a shout then. I've already told him i'm looking elsewhere. Wheels are in the C5 for sale section.
