Nice choice in wheels. I like the looks I get when I throw my Convos onto my car to drive to the track. Gotta watch out on the turns though. Having 4 inch tires up front instead can make corning a little bit more of an adventure if I forget I'm not running the F1s. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Good looking rims. I want to get some, you don't have the part number do you? Want to make sure to order the right ones and make sure they fit.

no part #. u just want convo pros 4" for the front with 1.75 backspacing in a single bolt pattern that is size 4.75. the rears vary. u can go with 7.5" that tuck in the wheel wells better, the 8.5" like i did, or the 10" that will stick out the most. i think all the back wheels are 5" backspacing. u will love them, the pics don't do them justice. ever since i put them on i can't go out without people looking & complementing me on the wheels.at stop lights people walking or in other cars just stare, the cam lopping hard helps too <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

So I'm looking at getting some 15 x 8.5 convo pros for my 9" slicks. I see the 15x8.5 in JEGS for $164.99, but it doesn't have the backspacing?

Macguire, you may want to get just the 15x8. The 15x8.5 are very close to sticking out from under the fender. <img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" /> If Centerline would ever make a 5.5 inch backspacing the 15x8.5 would work perfect just like the Welds. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> Even if you had to grind some it would be worth it.
