So, did they fit with or without spacers? Does it look like 5/8" studs will work? Looks really good.

The fronts do not have a spacer,

The 5/8 Stud Spacer i was referring to was for the rear studs, it fits perfectly in the provided hole.

I have Centerline Convo Pros on my car. No grinding or spacers and they weigh within a pound of what Bogarts weigh.

Looks like the rim is thin where tire screws go through, I could be wrong though, just something to point out if it was used on a serious drag car.

The Street Lights have plenty of material on the the rim for the rim screws.

If you search here for Convo Pros you will find tons of info on them. I have 15x4" in the front and 15x7.5" in the back.

My current understanding is that the new Billet Specialties wheels will fit LT1 cars, but LS1 cars will need spacers and/or caliper grinding.

I'm about to order these. I have a 9" with LT1 rear brake setup, so I'm hoping they'll fit.

on the 5/8's rear stud, u have to machine the end of the washer down to fit in the wheel. THe hole is the same size as the washer on a promag lug. Other than that they fit.
