Default About to get convo pro's any tips???? grind?
I found a set local that im going to pick up. Im selling my z06 wheels to get them. Any tips? I have seen mixed results on if i have to grind my calipers or not. Do i have to grind with this size rear wheel? They are:

15x4 with 26x7.5 M/T Sportsman's
15x9 6.5 with 26x10.5 M/T Sportsman's S/R's

I love those. How much are you paying for them? (can I afford a set?)
Can't wait to see them on your car.

This is what i found you have to do with 15x9 with 6.5 just verry lightly

Ah Shreveport. I used to date a girl from there. She moved to St. Louis and that is when I dated her. She told me southern girls like it spicy. Indeed it was.
