Glad to see so many Centerline wheels here. I used to sell them along with many other brands but loved Centerline quality. Mine are the Champ 506 series 18" x 8" 4" rear spacing on all four





I have 20" Centerline Stingray III's on my truck talk about brand loyalty

I love these wheels. I have them on my Z06 and really like them on there. I have always thought they would look killer on my 70 also. What size spacers did you use to get them to fit correctly? I have a set of chrome reproduction Z06 wheels in my basement but have never tried to fit them.
