Advice on backspacing

I'm looking at getting a pair of 7x15 Centrelines for the front of the Chally.
However the ones I want don't come in the 4" backspacing thats recommended.
They only come in 3 5/16" and 4 7/8" can anybody advise me if either of these are any good.
Cheers
John

4 7/8ths is no good for sure. The other one might work but you will have to measure first to be sure. I suspect it will hit the wheel arch.

3 5/16 should be fine , 4 7/8 seems a bit tight although you may get away with 215 60s on there.

Cheers guys, I was thinking that I could use a small spacer with the 3 5/16 ones with hopefully 235 60x15's.
What do ya reckon

The stock 15x7s had 4.5 backspace. More than that and the wheel edge will hit the UCA.

That would give you LESS backspace?

Sorry Dave I meant spacers on the 4 7/8 size.

Thought you did.
Yes that would work. TrevD could knock you up a pair of 1/2" spacers.
Watch the stud length does not get too short though.

Nice one, I've got some spacers but I'll PM TrevD if none are the right size.
Thanks for all your help on this one, I'm off to order some wheels

If you look on the thread i posted under wheel spacers, you'll see a pic of the ones Trev made me.
They are absolutely bang on.
