I've been lookin at the champions also,the website tells you how to measure it up. http://www.championbillet.com/drag-wheel-technical-information/ Cap5 Black Wheel / XV Beadlock Black Double Cut / Gold Bolts Black Cap5 With XV Beadlock $537.00 Choose Options Speed Series Wheel Polished / XV Beadlock Black Double Cut / Black Bolts Polished Speed Series With XV Beadlock $507.00 Choose Options Cap5 Wheel Black / X Beadlock Black / Gold Bolts Black Cap5 With X Beadlock $515.00 Choose Options Speed Series Wheel Black / X Beadlock Polished / Gold Bolts Black Speed Series With X Beadlock $515.00 Choose Options Cap5 Wheel Black / Smoothie Beadlock Black / Gold Bolts Black Cap5 With Smoothie Beadlock $515.00 Choose Options Drag Wheel Technical Prior to ordering your wheels, please verify your measurements are made according to the diagram below. With double beadlock AND/OR wheels with a backspace larger than 4", there is a brake clearance concern. To check this, measure from the center of your axle out to the edge of your brake caliper in a straight line--if that measurement is less than 6.5", you should have proper brake clearance. Any more than that, and we recommend contacting us for further assistance. drag-race-tech-drawing.jpg HEMI-ITIS has no cure. My condition is fully BLOWN!!
