Default CONVO PRO SKINNIES

CURRENTLY I HAVE CONVO PROS IN THE REAR. I WANT TO PUT THE 15X4'S UP FRONT. I WAS WONDERING WHAT BACKSPACE WAS NEEDED, AND IS ANY MODIFICATIONS NECCESSARY. ASSUMING A 15" WILL FIT IN THE FRONT. IT ISN'T NECCESARY TO MATCH THE REAR'S 28" DIAMETER IS IT, CONSIDERING I HAVE THE EIBACH DRAG SPRINGS AND IS LOWERED UP FRONT.

I think you can fit the fronts without grinding. You don't need to match the 28s, you will just have a ABS INOP light when they are on. I'm not sure what back spacing you need, do a search there have been a lot of threads about them before.

ABS sensors in the front & back wheels will be detecting a difference in speed,( smaller front will be turnig faster), this is what sets off inop light! hope this helps

I've got ConvoPro 15x4s w/ 1.75bs and Moroso 26x4.5 DS2 for the front of my car - sorry no pictures yet. No grinding, no rubbing, no spacer even with Sportline springs.
Trevor has some pic of the Convo Pros on his car here. Maybe he'll jump in here as well, I'm not sure what his suspension setup is.
