I want to order new back tires for my 70 GS. I currently have Weld wheels 8.5" with 4 5/8" backspacing. But I found out one rim is bent a bit. It appears as though Weld no longer carries my style (Zero Drag Style) so the next closest thing is Centerline Auto Drags however there backspacing in that rim is either 3 1/4 or 4 7/8. I already have to put a wheel spacer to keep the tire from rubbing the inner fender well, and can't imagine going with MORE backspacing. But 3 1/4 backspacing sounds like it will hit the outer wheel well. What do I do?? o No:
got some for sale i'am trying to sell these used centerlines auto drags..i had them polished. 3-1/4 back space or rears fronts 15x4's brand new yokahama's front and rear rears 255/60/15 (fit good but can't go any bigger..275's rub on fender front's are skinny's $750.00 plus shipping might have 200 miles on them..can e-mail more pict's chris.
thanks for the offer Chris, but it sounds like the 3 1/4 backspacing won't work for me. I currently am running BFG Drag radial 325/50-15s which I love and don't want to go with a smaller tire. Why would centerline not offer any 4 1/2 backspacing anymore? Anybody else out there got any thoughts?
