Default Wheel and tire package

Anybody know a good place to get a deal on wheel and tire packages. I'm thinking about getting 17 inch torque thrust or 16 inch rally's so that I can go up to a Z rated tire but I can't seem to find anyone who sells wheels and tires just one or the other. The current set I have I did piece meal and it wound up costing me. Any thoughts are appreciated.
P.S. is the back spacing still 4 inches with 17 inch wheels?

Yes stay with 4 back spacing. I bought my TT IIs from www.hotrodsusa.com they came up with the cheapest price when I was looking. Also check wheels for less and tire rack.

4 inches cool thats what I thought
I used tire rack last time but the local tire shop charged me an arm and a leg to mount and balance them. It would have been just as cheap buying it all local.
