Center Lines

Some advice please!

I've been offered a pair of Center Line Auto Drags (same as my current wheels) for the front of my '70 Challenger.

Size is 7 x 15 with 4-7/8" back space.

Does anyone have any thoughts on whether the backspace is OTT?

Apparently 7 x 15 Center lines are only available with 3-5/16" & 4-7/8" bs

Depends how wide a tyre you fit on there I think? But even with a skinny tyre you might catch the chassis on full lock. :?

I run 15x8s on the front of mine with 4.5-inch backspace. The tyres are quite wide too at 245/60/15 and they have enough clearence. But only enough.

Measure the backspace of the existing wheels and then see how much room you have at full lock. Then just subtract the extra inches of the new wheels from that and see if you have anything left.

Thanks for that.

I'll be checking it out this weekend, but I reckon it's going to be pretty tight!
