A cheap alternative would be to run a quality set of wheel spacers with a thickness of at least 1.5 inches. Other than that if you’re looking at rims get some with 4.5 inches of backspacing or less and you should be fine.

The quality spacers are Spidertrax. These are the only ones you can trust. 5x5. These will degrade your bearings faster due the increased stresses with the back spacing, just something to know. But it is a good suggestion if you are not ready for wheels. About $200 for a set of 4.

If you use wheel spacers to get the back spacing needed how will that degrade your wheel bearings faster than wheels with the same back spacing ???

Both spacers or wheels with less back spacing could potentially shorten the life of the bearings. Moving the wheel further out from the bearing increases the force exponentially.

The OP might want to consider trimming.
