Really considering buying a set of Boyd's but the smallest my dealer has backspacing in is 4.5"'s. Is this to much or not enough?

the standard backspacing on the 71 is 4 inches on a 8 inch wheel. You should order the set of Boyds you want since they will make them to fit your car. I ordered a set for my car a year or so back and they were 17x8 with a 4 inch backspacing.
