Default Back-spacing needed for Center Line rims?

Can anyone tell me what back-spacing I'll need to make the 16x8 Center Line Billet wheels work on my Z-28. The Summit catalog gives these sizes of back-spacing: 3 1/2", 4", 4 1/2", 5".

Thanks. <img src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" border="0">

Im running an 8" Weld rim with a 5.5" bs and it fits perfect. An 8" rim with a 5" bs MAY stick out a tad. A 5.5 or 6" bs would be perfect. For a 10" rim, use a 7.5" bs.

8 and 8.5" centerlines stick out with the 5" backspacing. get the 7.5" and run a 9" wide slick. they dont stick out at all.

The only problem is that Summit only shows the back-spacing from 3 1/2" to 5". Can I get different back-spacing for these?
