I need some info on approx wheel weighs and fitment.

I have been looking at the 15x7.5 Centerline convo pro for a rear rim set up with a 10.5x26x15 ET street.

I also want to get matching fronts 15x4.

Here is my question.

I like the look of the Centerline Warrior a little better and want to go that route but I don't have any info on what will work for me.

Are both the Convo and Warrior similar in weight?

Will the 15 inch Warrior fit over the calipers without grinding like the Convo Pro will?

Also I think the Warrior only comes in a 15x8 and 15x8 1/2.

What size and back spacing should I get(Front and back) to fit without rubbing on my SS with a Eibach Pro-kit?

Post your ideal set up for me.

Wheels tires etc....


TIA

I hope to click off some 12.5's with this set up and a new Cartk clutch.

 

The warriors and ConvoPros are basically the same wheel except for looks. The Warriors should fit w/o grinding. Like the Convo Pros, there are actually two warior wheels: the 'race only' wheels in 15X4, 15X12, 15X14, 15X14.5, 15x15 & 15x16; and the Moular ones in 15x5.5, 15x7, 15x8, 15x8.5, 15x9, 15x10. I just posted pics of my rear Convo Pros on my 98 with Eibach Sportlines and 26x9.5 Hoosiers. The fit is pretty tight, but I drove around a bit and didn't have any rubbing, but I did take the corners easy. I tried some hard launches as well and didn't have any rubbing problems. Good luck.

 

I am curious about this as well as I currently have Warrior skinnys up front and was thinking about the 15x8 Warriors on the back. I wanted to know if the weights were similar, if so I would get the matching warriors for the back as well.
Cheers,
Chris

I talked to them last week, the Convo Pros and Warriors were the same weight.

 

Up^

What size warrior set up then?

15x8 rears, what bolt pattern and back spacing should I go with to avoid rubbing and caliper issues.

15x4 fronts,What back spacing?


Can I run a 26x10.5x15 ET Street on a 8 or 8.5 inch rim?

 

TTT

I'm kinda swinging the same way.

I think this is what we need, can anyone verify if this will work? <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">
CLL-075804547 15 in. x 8 in., 5 x 4 3/4 in. bolt circle, 4 1/2 in. backspacing, polished, Warrior wheel ...

Will this stick out at all? Is 5 inches backspacing necessary? This wheel weighs the same as the Convo Pro right?

Thanks,
Chris

They sell Convo Pros in 15x8.5 with 5" or 4.75 backspace I think.

 

The Warriors that I have seen stick out a good amount in the rear

 

Actually here are some pics

Here are some pictures of my ConvoPros mounted on the rear

Those are 15x8.5 w/ 5in. backspacing. Tires are 29x9.5-15 Hoosier QuickTime Pro. They stick out very slightly, maybe 1/2".
For fronts, I have 15x4 w/ 1.75 backspacing, and they fit w/o grinding as well.

Warrior 15x4 w/ 1.75" backspace P/N 075401507
Warrior 15x8.5 w/ 5" backspace P/N 075855547

 

It's only an issue if your car squats a lot.

 

I ended up ordering some 15x7.5x15 Convo Pros with a 5inch back spacing.

I also ordered 15x4 fronts with 1.75 back spacing.

Summit was great and I shoud have them along with my new ET Street in a day or two.

I liked the Warriors but I didn't want to deal with rubbing on a lowered car.
