Centerline smoothie question
 

need some help, I want to order a set of these smoothie centerlines but they dont offer any backspace options. this is what they have and not sure if it will work.. for the rear 22x9 (5.5 BS) and front 20x8.5 (5.4 BS). thats the only option. I am running a 10" step notch and a porterbuilt dropmember. can I make it work, I will run spacers if I have to. oh ya I have a 67 short fleet.

I think they will be fine.
I know alot of people run a 20x8.5 (5.25" BS) with a Dropmember.

You might have to run a spacer on the rear.
Which rearend do you have? 67-70 (1.5" narrower overall) or the wider 71-72?

My '71 2wd blazer has the wider 71-72 style 5 lug rearend,... and I'm running a 20x9.5 wheel (with a 5.5" BS)

Re: Centerline smoothie question
 

its gets more complicated, the rear end came out of a 87 suburban. thats how I converted to 5 lug. I am gonna go measure it.

BEST answer on here.

MEASURE for yourself!

thats a litlle hard to do, all I have is a frame on the floor, so thats why I am asking, I will be building my own rear suspension and I like to have rims and tires before I do anything.

Re: Centerline smoothie question
 

it will work. ive had my set of 20/22 in smoothies on my 59, 67, 86, and many 88-98 trucks. all of them were bagged or static dropped a few inches off the ground.

only real problem i had with mine is you will need to grind on the snout of the rotor to get the front center cap to fit on the 72-87 style front suspension. my 59 has the front clip off of a 85 suburban and the rearend too, they rub the inside of the rear fender well alittle but nothing a very small spacer wont fix. but since im going to run my bonspeeds instead im not worried about it.

I not woried at all about inside rub, I may not even run a bed floor and if I do it will be raised and cut accordingly..Mainly what I am asking is this back spaceing gonna work??? rear 22x9 (5.5 BS) and front 20x8.5 (5.4 BS)

Re: Centerline smoothie question
 

Yes, that back-spacing will work. It's very similar to what N2billet is running on his 'Tootsie-Roll' project (20x8.5 w/5.25"bs; 22x9 w/5.50"bs; DM front & rear). . . .....
