305/45/17 which rim?

I just got a set of 305/45/17 drag radials . Now i need to find a good deal on a set of rims that will fit my 2017 camaro ss good with no rubbing. Its a stock height car. I know everyone pretty much runs drag stars but is there a cheaper option available? Also what backspace would you recommend? Thanks in advance.

The RTS Series aren’t cheaper, but I like them. They’re light and fit without issue. 17x10’s. Call Carlyle Racing. They’ve usually got the best deal on them.

Here is what I am using. 17x9.5" +38 offset. Rubs a little bit on the driver side fender liner, but not bad.

I've put 600 highway miles, 5 drag strip passes, about 20 Mexico digs, and doing burns outs to clean the tires, an I haven't worn a hole in my fender liner yet. I've moved the wiring harness on the driver side as a precaution but other than that, I'm just going to let it rub a hole, then look into maybe patching it. On my drive side M/T I can see where it's kind of rubbed on the very edge of the tire; I think it only does it on launches though, other wise I'd already worn a hole.
