Pics of Convo Pro`s?
Anyone have pics of Convo Pro`s on a `98-`02 Z-28? I`d really like to see some from the rear of the car. Trevor D`s site has some nice shots but none directly in the back. Thanks in advance.

Re: Pics of Convo Pro`s?
Hey Do your 15x3.5 fronts require any grinding? I have KVR rotors and the 15x3.5 welds didn't fit with the 5/16th backspacing. Bogarts are more expensive so I am hoping these will work. Thanks, Car Looks Good.

Re: Pics of Convo Pro`s?
The price of the Bogarts is why I want to see pics of cars with Convo Pro`s <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> . From what I gather, no grinding or spacers are needed to fit the Convo`s on 4th gen F-bodies with STOCK brakes. I have not heard about issues with after market brake equipment. Judging by Trevor D`s site pics, the 15x7.5 rears with 5" BS don`t seem to stick out too far and he seems to be hooking plenty good with his set up. So I`m looking to go that route. I just can`t afford the Bogarts! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" />

No grinding on either front or back with the Convo-pros. Convo-pros' advantage is price <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> . Pictures on site are 15x10. I have been to lazy to do any pictures with the new set-up.

Re: Pics of Convo Pro`s?
Excellent pics 02 SOM SS!
How do you like the Hoosiers? I was thinking about those instead of ET Streets. I like the 9.5 instead of the 10.5 on a 7.5 rim. I am looking at the Quick Time Pro Drag DOT tires.

Re: Pics of Convo Pro`s?
I've got several pics on my web page with the Convo Pro's, but my 12 bolt is narrowed 1/2" on each side as well.

Re: Pics of Convo Pro`s?
Thanks for the compliments all. I love the Hoosiers. I was bracket racing today, and ave. 1.61 60' time and went as fast as 1.60 in 1200+ DA today in Tulsa.
They are 26 X 9's. I have been 1.58 on them at SLP Day in Ennis.
Angie.....you're stuff is nasty fast. Nice pics!

Re: Pics of Convo Pro`s?
Most people I have talked to say they like the Hoosier QTP`s. The only down side I can see with them is the limited size selection. But hey, look at 02 SOM SS`s 60` times on a 26x9.5, can`t argue with those! Thanks again for the replys. I`m probably going to go with a set of Convo`s later this summer. Probably the 7.5`s. For the "money to ET ratio", they seem like the way to go. I`m going to run a set of 26x11.50-16 ET Streets on the stock 16x8 rims this Spring and see what I can do with them. I might buy the 15x4 Convo fronts first and run them at the track with the 16" ET Streets with the short belt mod kick`n. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Pics of Convo Pro`s?
I found some photos of my setup. 15x4 up front and 15x8.5's in the back. I'm probably going to have my 12 bolt narrowed by 1.5" later so I can go to a larger tire when I need to. That should take care of the backspacing there. And then I'll custom order some new rims with better backspacing for the street as well.

Re: Pics of Convo Pro`s?
The 8.5 wide w/5" backspace is about the widest Convo Pro you can put on a un-narrowed rear without the wheels sticking out stupidly beyond the fenderwells....WJ. (my opinion, only.) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
