centerline Custom wheels and they dont make 4 1/4bs so went with the 4 1/2 with a 1/4 spacer 275-50x15 MT drag radials have a little over 1/4"of a inch to the spring set in the back seat and no rub anywhere had about 1" inch still ..10"inches of tread on the ground Attached Thumbnails
How wide are your rims? 15X8? Backspacing is the distance from the edge of the rim to the inside mounting area right? So, if I have a 4 1/2" bs rim and add a 1/4" spacer I'm decreasing the backspacing ?
mine are 15x8 and you are right on the BS .... i used the spacer to move the tire away from the spring
All I can say is that your rearend must be wider than mine, 'cuz anything wider than 245s will rub on my leafsprings with a 4-1/4" backspace....

Dave, I have been thinking about running the same size tire & wheel as you are. It looks real good like it should have from the factory. Were you using the stock wheel studs with this size rim and spacer? I was just wondering because I want to get my new wheels and not have to worry about pulling my axels out quite yet to replace the wheel studs.
with the new rims using acorn lug nuts ...and not wanting to see one out run the car i went with longer race studs ...think its all on what rim you use
I am thinking on either Weld Drag Stars or Centerline Warriors. I plan on changing to the longer studs soon, just not yet though. I want to do the 9" swap before doing the longer studs. Did your rims fit fine with the 1/4" spacer and the stock studs? I am tired of looking at my wannabe Centerlines that the previous owner put on it.
