Not Ranked
I went through this 24 years ago. Ron Butler recommends 10 inch wide Centerlines on the front and 12 inch on the rear. My budget was (and is) tight and I looked for a long time and finally found 8.5 inch fronts and 10 inch rears that fit right. My front brake rotors are Chevy and the rear Jaguar hubs have the same 4 3/4 inch bolt circle. With the MB front and XKE rear suspensions, the wheels need to have just over three inches of backspacing. Ron used to sell plastic inserts for Centerlines that make them look like Halibrands with real knockoffs to hold them in place. They look pretty good (see my pictures). After a knockoff spinner got lost, I bought replacements from Speedway Motors. They say "Mr Gasket" on them, but I have been too lazy to mill that off.
The Centerlines are very light and strong. You can buy them on Summit Racing right now. Or, you can watch eBay and the right size turns up once in a while.
