If you are planning on running large spacers on back, there is the option of changing bolt pattern to a 114.3 or a 120 or any other, and opens options up to alot more wheels combinations.
I looked into that also when I bought mine.
And if you find wheels that love and have the spacing you need but in a 114.3, there are wobble bolts (if you choose to) and the wheels can be chamfered out to a 112, that is what mine are.
When checking about doing this from a wheel shop cost was a additional $0 - $150 to do all four wheels, with purchase of wheels.

I have spacers on both front and rear but I ground down some long bolts for the rear and fastened through the spacer directly to the hub, IMO, the best way. On the front I had to design a 2 piece bolt to get the right thread length and correct bolt extension. I think these 2 piece bolts are 1 of a kind.
