That sounds bizarre to me, what was their reason for refusing? Unless it is some sort of safety/engineering concern I would call again and try to talk to someone else: custom means custom. I bought the below wheels off of them and they made them to my specs: six bolt, 17 inch, with modern chev backspacing; the truck sits on a 97 Tahoe chassis.

At any rate, I am sure that 4.25 is fine.
