Anyone running Centerline Wheels?

I am looking at some Centerline Wheels, Ventura style that I really like. They don't have any pics of these on a 3rd gen though. If anyone is running this setup could you post some pics?

Also, I was thinking of running 17x8 up front and 17x9.5 in the back so I can run 255's front and 275's rear. What backspacing do you have for this setup so that it will fit up decent (not stick out too far and clear everything inside)?

Thanks in advance

Are those 225 60's or 70's? If they're 60's that car has to be sitting super low for the lip to be covering the top of the tire, but it doesn't look to be sitting _that_ low.

I'm assuming 275/60/15's on the back?

Either way, looks good...

Yeah, 225/60/15s front and 275/60/15s out back.

Dropped the front a fair bit recently. Seriously helped the hard launches and doesn't look too bad

Big *** pic warning!!!

Nice, that’s similar to what I’m doing at the dragstrip, but I’m using 215/65/15os on the front with 275/60/15 DR’s in the rear. I’ve been seriously considering going to 225/60/15’s in the front with 275/50/15’s in the rear.

What springs are those?

Raven,

Do you have rear disc brakes?

Regards,

The springs are custom ordered from K-Mac in Sydney. Very happy with them and the ride they give.

And yes, there certainly are discs under those rims.

Raven,

What is the backspacing on your rims and did you have to grind the calipers to get the wheels to fit? Thanks.

Sorry for getting off on a tangent… those springs intended for handling, street or drag use? Any idea what the spring rates are?

Nah not really any good for TRUE street. Definatly more intended for aiding in hard drag launches. Works a treat, but its probly a little too low for high speed street unless your on a very good road. Sorr no idea about 'poundage'
