I hear our brakes are bigger don't know if it is true. But how about it any SS and 15 inch rims? If so what are the specs?

 

The most "painless" rims are the Convo Pros. No grinding or spacers, front or rear.

I run 7.5x15x5bs and 4x15x1.75bs. `10.5 ET Streets rear, 165-15 VW tires front.

 

Thanks McRat

 

SS brakes are the same. I run 15s. Weld Draglites with quite a bit of grinding to the calipers

 

I like the Centerline wheels, but they look kind of ghetto because they stick out past the fenders. I'd rather grind the calipers on the back and have the tires/rim under the fender with the Weld wheels.

What is the widest rim suggested to use? I'll be running slicks some where in the size of 28 inch by 10 inch wide.

 

I agree with Tony. If you get 8.5" wide rims, they stick out. This is because for now, Convo Pros only come with 5" BS, and they need 7".

If you run the 7.5" wides they won't stick out, and you can go up to 10.5 wide on the tires. Not an ideal set-up, but they work.

If enough people write Centerline, they may make 7" bs and everyone will have the PERFECT rim.

 

Or you can do what Joe Kizzire did, he had his rearend narrowed to fit the deeper offset rims and it looks great. He ordered the rearend that way. He has the Convo-Pros also.

SS, you need the 15x10 Draglites or Pro Stars, with the 7.5" backspacing. Those work great with the slicks you listed.
