Are you saying the new Centerlines hit your calipers, at 4" of backspacing? What did Centerline say about that?

Yah, the backpsace won't matter it's the style of wheel that hit the caliper. They told me that style of wheel would clear and it didn't so I returned them. I bought another set of centerline convo pros, but not from them direct like the 1st set. I didn't want to get another set of centerlines after they waisted a few months of my time, but I got a good deal(not in any way from centerline, just caught a sale).

Oh and centerline did nothing.
