Did anyone have to put new studs in?
I can't find open ended lug nuts for the rears.
(12mmx1.5rh .500 shank).
The point is moot if I can't pass tech.
Help me out.
Thanks
I want to look like this...

I did not change anything on my setup with my Centerline Convo Pro's. I ordered them from summit racing and told them I need the proper lugnuts to go with it. They sent me Centerline Lug nuts with washers(not the best in the world but it works) give summit a call and they should be able to help you out. I did NOT have to put new studs in.

But they're not open ended,correct?
I can get centerline lugs that work,
but I heard the rears have to be open ended
to pass tech at the dragstrip.

I'm running the Convo Pros w/ open-ended lug nuts. I got them from Summit, and the p.n. is CLL-L5115. I believe you have to have a certain amount of the stud sticking through the lug nut to be 100% NHRA legal.

Thanks, Trevor.
I checked Summit before,but couldn't find 'em.
But they're ordered.
Thanks again.

Did you have to grind the calipers on the front to make them fit?

nope The Convo Pros will fit w/ no grinding or spacers. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> Same thing goes for the back wheels.

Trevor, do you use the same lugs on the front and the back? btw still love your old mufflex.

Can someone list the Convo Pro size they ordered that required no grinding? I am getting ready to buy. Also how much do they weigh?

Trevor @ Texas Speed & Perf.

iTrader: (3)

Yep, I use the same lugs on the front and back. I'm glad that the Mufflex is working out for ya! It has a great sound!
Bill - Check out my website. I have full specs (including weights) of the Convo Pros listed there.

15x8.5" /5(lug) 4.75 pattern 5" back spacing
15x4" /5 lug 4.75 pattern 1.75" back spacing
They are very light.

I've only test fit the rears
just had tires mounted today.
They are not on my car yet.
So I need trevor to okay the sizes.
I don't want to give you false info.

you shouldnt need open ended lugs for any strips around il (maybe route66?).

Hey Trevor,
You list your rears as a 15x7.5 with a 5" bs. The only size I can find in Jegs and Summit are a 15x7 and a 15x8.5. Where did you get yours?

they are 7.5's as far as i know....184-005755547. T can verify PN's. I myself wouldnt recommend anything wider than a 9.5" slick. maybe that 10.5" ET Street. But why would you run an ET Street (besides that fact that they are DOT) when you have a 15" rim. Hoosier makes an absolutly perfect slick for that rim. 26x9. M/T has a 26x8.5 ET Drag as well.

Missed a . in my first post. They are 7.5 for the back. My friends are using 26 X 10.5 X 15 ET Streets for the back. And the cheapest, lightest tire they can find for the front.

Poltergeist

This is the setup I'm going to order from Summit in the next day or so. This is also what a couple of my friends are using.

CLL-005755547 WHEEL 15X7 5 CONVO PRO $157.95

CLL-L5115 12mm x 1.5 mectric, right-hand-thread, .500 in. shank, open-end, lug nut $10.99

Thanks Poltergeist. Do the 11.5" wide ET Streets fit on the 7" rears or what size did they use?

Moroso DS2s 26x4.5 = 12#
Mounted on 15x4 ConvoPros = 22#

Saved me 24# per wheel on the front.

Chris, thanks for the tire recommendation. Will be going with that on the front.
