You can get a package of 17x7 and 17x8 for rear with tyres for $1900 delivered to your door. Look on eBay, that's what I'm getting.

check out ronsrims1, he has a webpage and sells on ebay usa. 17x7 streeters $144 ea. A set of 4 shipped to Oz about $400 airfrieght.
Just ordered my spare from him and should have it within 10days, which is better then the 6-10 week wait I was told from the wholesaler over here.

Hey Chadd, do you have any pictures of the rear wheel?
Much clearance up the back with the 17x7

Ask and you'll receive.
I haven't rolled the guards at the back so fitting a 17x8 with a 4.75 back space is out for me but I can fit one with a 5" back space as there is plenty of room on the inside, hope these pics help

Cheers everyone I'm really happy with the latest mods. I just tweaked the dash so it lights up during the day, just makes reading the thing easier. I did get the dim knob which is used for adjusting the brightness at night when you put your lights on, I wouldn't next time. It's easier enough to change through the menu and it's going to stay on full bright at this stage. The good thing about the dash is I can calibrate the speedo if I change tyre size, or diff ratio with a GPS, no more crawling under the car to change the speedo drive gear.

The brakes are getting better with each bog lap of Baldivis, another 100k's of bedding in and we should be all good to really test them out.
