any of you with centerline autodrags
I know this subject has been beaten to death but here it goes. I need the size of Centerline autodrag to fit my 71. I only see two backspace options on the Centerline website, "4 7/8, or 3 5/16" these are in 15X8.5's. All the searches I have done only refers to 4.5 backspace. For you guys running the centerlines, what backspace are you running?

I use the 3 5/16 back space because 4 inch was not available . I have no problems with tires hitting fenders etc...
This is a beautiful rim to run on a Vette , use the polished ones !

the 15"x8" 4" backspaced auto-drags are available, but in polished only. you need to look for auto-drag III's. i called Centerline and got the part number before ordering from the distributor. sorry i don't have the number readily available. going less back-space with a 255 or wider tire gets really close to the fenders over bumps. give me a shout if you need the part number, Brian.

I have not ever had my Tire come anywhere close to my fender and believe you me , Ive run the hell out of it !
But if you are able to get the 4 in offset , I would go with them .

Personal preference, but I chose not to go with the polished.
