I am considering putting some new rims on the back of KK's racecar and need to know what the proper backspacing is. I am looking at some regular old solid Centerlines that are 8.5" wide. The rims I have on the car right now have the wrong backspacing and the tires stick out too much with 10" slicks on them. If worse came to worse I could pull one of them off and see how much they have and add a little to that, but I thought maybe someone here had done this and could tell me the proper spacing. (I'll admitt it, I'm lazy  )

regular old Centerlines ... think they call 'em Autodrags, are only available in 3 5/16" and 4 7/8" backspace, 4 7/8" is pretty good with stock width rear ends. (see how cleverly i avoided asking "How wide is KK's rear end?")
