Well guys and girls, I tried to start a new adage: Measure Zero-Cut Once,
but much to my surprise it didn't work.  I now have two brand new Centerline
Convo Pro 15X7, 5 on 4 3/4" bolt circle wheels that I can't use and need to
sell.  I paid about $312 and would like to get at least $250 for them, and I
will pay the shipping.  The company I bought them from refuses to take them
back since I'm 2 weeks past their 90 day return policy.  If anyone is
interested please ping me off the list and I am located in the Houston, Tx.
area.

The story behind my stupidity is that I was totally concerned with the fit
of the rear wheels and tires and just took it for granted that anything in
the front would work.  WRONG!!!  I measured the rear about a dozen times
before I bought them and they fit fine.  The front 235-70-15 tires sit very
close to the outside of the fenders that would only allow an inch or two of
travel without hitting the fenders (I have a 1979 Nova subframe installed).
I am going to go with 15X6 wheels and smaller tires.

Boy, I'm still amazed at how stupid I am.
