I looked on the centerline website.... they are 5" bs... i wonder if they offer a 275/40/20 with their package deals... the only options they post on the website is 275/45 and 275/55... I guess I will call them in the morning. That may be a dealbreaker

Those of you who have had experience with centerlines, have you had any problems with them? Hard to balance? Machining flaws? Bend easily?

No machining flaws on mine to speak of. I've hit some pretty good potholes on accident and no bends either. Only problem with them is the packaging for shipping sucks and isn't protective at all. UPS actually damaged two of my wheels, but Centerline made it right.

My family likes centerlines and has had our fair share of there wheels..(prob 6sets overall) we've never had a problem with balance or machining flaws and ive never herd of one till i came on here. One set(one wheel) had a slight air leak problem because it was a two piece, but other than that nothing..
I will def agree with their shipping and boxing is horrible, they just throw a little plastic lip protector on em and put em in a cardboard box, with the shipping companies throwing them around im sure they could stand to change that and save themselves some time/money with damage fees..

They are pretty strong but any big pothole with small tire will do damage to the strongest wheel. I had some 20" on my last truck and slightly "grazzed" a telephone pole, the impact was enough to bend the frame mounting points for the A-arms and the wheel lip just folded in slightly, no cracking or chipping nothing. For the amount of impact i thought they held up really good which shows for their strength imo..
