Default Convo Pro Fitment?

The wheels I'm looking at are:

15x4 with 2 5/16" backspacing
15x7.5 with 5" backspacing

This is correct? right?
It says "offset makes wheel face too narrow for convolutions" (for the 2 5/16)

What does that mean?

I need to order today, so any help I get is greatly appreciated

You want 15x4 with 1.75" BS on the front.

Wont the 1.75 require grinding? I thought I read that someone was running 2 5/16 without grinding and it tucked pretty well.

I mean have absolutely no problem grinding them, thats no big deal

the 2-5/16 WILL require grinding, i had a set givin to me and they DID NOT fit unless i ground. i sold them and run the 1.75's up front w/o ANY grinding

the rears are correct though

Nothing looks gimpier than salad shooters and front prostars
