I am going to pick up some centerlines in the next week and was wondering the backspacing and bolt pattern?

The back spacing all depends on what wheel width you go with and if you plan on dropping it and tucking the wheels. The bolt pattern is 6 on 5.5" though.

Mine are 8.5" and I beilive my backspacing is 5". I can pull one of my wheels off and measure it if you want me too. My wheels sit perfectly flush with the fender.

My centerlines are 20x8 with 5" of backspacing so they should fit the same as your 18's will. They will be fine on a 2/4 drop. If you plan on going 4/6 or lower in the future you'll have to run a low pro tire to compensate for the backspacing (8" wide wheel with 5.5" of backspacing would be preferred). I run a 245/40 tire because i am missing that extra half inch of backspace. Mine will "tuck" with this combo while hitting bumps and whatnot (you can see in my avatar flex photo :D)

Good luck with the centerlines, i love mine. What style did you go with?

Are the Centerlines chrome or polished?
