Default Is there a 16" draglite or prostar available?

I am looking for some draglites or pro stars for the rear of 1991. I would like to get a 16 inch wheel so I don't have to grind the caliper, but the only 16 inch wheel I can find is a draglite that is only 7 inches wide.

Is there an option for a 10 inch wide, 16 inch diameter, light weight wheel that is the proper back spacing for the C4?

Default Center Line has this...

They're not Weld, but Center Line does offer 16 and 17 inch wheels in AutoDrag III.

Awesome! Thanks a bunch man, they are pretty proud of them at $272 each, but that would be better than grinding my calipers.

Thanks again.

Grinding the calipers is not that big of a deal.
I run the 15x10 Weld drag lites with 7.5" backspacing.

The 15" rim gives you better tire choices.

That's how we did it in the old days... anybody else remember 15X10 Cragar S/S's? damn wheels had to weigh 100 lbs each, but at least you could get some tires on the car!

My custom offset Longboards were $375 each (I have two sets!), so $272 ain't all THAT bad.

Nicole at Center Line knows her stuff, too...
