Are these drag only wheels? Anybody know their home site or how or even if they have catalogs? I'm looking for light weight wheel options in 15" and 16" sizes for LT1 fbody. Bogarts are kinda pricey and Weld's are a hassel and not really street use intended. Are there any more options?

 

Centerline make a wide variety of wheels, ranging from daily driver street wheels to track-only drag wheels. The Centerline AutoDrags are less hassle than the Welds, and streetable. They do make them in backspaces to fit the 4th Gens.

The Weld Pro-Stars and Draglites are fine for street use, except for the 15x3.5" and 15x4.0" front runners.

 

What do you mean less hassel and streetable. You just said Weld's are fine for the street. Is there anything you can do to make Centerline wheels fit? I
ve seen them on 4th gens before, so there must be something.

 

You can just bolt the AutoDrags on = no hassle. Can be reliably driven on the street = streetable. This car belongs to a friend of mine:

 

I have centerline telstars on mine there made for the street even in a 15x4 up front, I didnt have to do anything to make them clear on my car with the LT1 brakes, but every car is a little diffrent you might have to grind the brakes a little to get them on.

 

convo pro's here

 

Any grinding to get them on?

P.S. Do ya'll know how much Centerline wheels weigh or where I could find that info. I don't think they're all listed in the sticky, if any. Thanks.

 

my convo pros fit with no grinding...none, nada, zilch.

If my memory serves me right they were ~25-30# lighter per wheel than my 275/40-17 radials and 01 WS6 wheels.

 

Centerline Telstars are offered in 15X6 with either 3.5 or 4" bs. Fred suggested a 4.5"bs in the sticky(yes, I actually read it). Could I just use a .5" spacer to get it to fit?

What bs should I look for in a 15X7?
What about 16X8?

Also, why will Weld wheels in 15X10(7.5"bs) not bolt on to LT1 fbodies, but others manufacturer's wheels(Centerline, Bogart) will?

 

If the backspace it too small, the wheel/tire sticks outside the fender. Adding a 1/2" spacer will just make it stick out another 1/2"

Are you reading what I am posting? The Weld wheels do not hit the rear brake caliper fins because of the backspace. They hit the caliper fins because of the shape of the CENTER DISC portion of the wheel..... the piece the bolts go through. The CENTER DISC is straight up and down, and then "rolls over" at the outside edge to form the rim. Its this "knuckle" in the CENTER DISC that catches the caliper fins, not the rim portion. It wouldn't matter if the backspace was 1" or 7.5". The Bogarts, Telstars and AutoDrags have a differnet shape to the CENTER DISC in that critical region.

 

I drove on Weld Drag lights for 12 years....not streetable???
