I'm gonna try to make it....I'm running in the Vamp Heads Up race the day before, so I'm not sure if the Mrs. will give me a "kitchen pass" for both days or not at this point. LOL

No. Convo pros fit without grinding, and without spacers. I just wish they made them in a 15x10 with 7.5 BS. I miss my old convo pro's

That's actually not true....with these Convo Pros I did have to grind the calipers and the caliper brackets a little bit to get them to clear. I've heard on a 15x8.5/5.5" backspace Convo Pro no grinding is necessary, but it was with these.

Weird. Mine bolted right on. But I did have to grind when I sold them and went to Weld wheels.

Thanks....I simply LOVE this car. WAY more fun to drive than the 1990 Mustang LX 5.0 I used to have before it, and this car is almost as fast as that Mustang with a 155K mile STOCK LS1 LOL.
