The Backspace / Offset of your Comopmotives are wrong for the Contemporary I think the Compomotive back spacing is 3 3/8.. I was thinking about buying some from Pete C. but upon inspection I found they "stick out" ( not backspaced enough) further than is specified.

Contemporary specified a 26" overall diameter tire and the 295/50-15 is 26.1". At this point I would cut my losses and sell the Compomotive wheels to an ERA owner or cut the wheels to a "custom" $ize..

Regards,
