    i would go with 1.5" spacers, less stress on your wheel bearings and other suspension components.
    but i would go with a 17x10 rim with 1" or backspacing and instead of 292/61-17 i would go with a 285/98-17 to give you that crazy wide tread width and they will stick way out there.

    in the op he said he has 292/61/17 tires, those do not exist. so i assumed troll, maybe, maybe not.. I decided to give a bs answer to a bs question. it makes sense if you dont think about it

    and yes a 292 mm wide tire would be wider than a 285mm tire
