Are these worth it?

I found a set of old centerline wheels, they are in great shape and will polish up real nice. Fronts are 15x7 and the rears are 15x10. My question is with a 4" backspacing on the 15x10s, will these fit inside the fenders? I am not 100% sure on the backspacing but the dish is 6" deep. I didn't bring a tape measure with me but if it is close I am considering it. He is asking $325 Here is a picture:

Re: Are these worth it?

Centerline made that Autodrag in a couple basic backspacings . 3 5/8" or 4 7/8" Those are the 3 5/8 versions it looks like . They wont tuck on your truck . I had several sets back in the day . Used to run BF's on them in a 295/50/15 . White letters out! Was a good look back then but trucks werent lowered like thay are now .

Re: Are these worth it?

you can have the centres moved out to increase the backspace then they would fit.

Re: Are these worth it?

If i'm not mistaken, those are a racing wheel and not designed for trucks if they haul any sort of heavy load. I could be wrong but just wanted to give you the heads up just in case.

I am not getting them. He had them put on a stepside back in 87 that he bought the truck brand new and used them for like a year a took them off and they haved been stored ever since.
