Question needing 15X8 wheel info!!!! HELP

I'l looking for some 15X8" wheels. I tried in the wheel section with no luck.

I'm wanting some 15X8" wheels for my ET streets. I dont want to grind my calipers if I dont have to. I've been looking at the convo pros and I'm not sure if they will bolt right up.

Anyone with any info would be great!

Also I'm low on cach so cheeper the better.. (aka no bogarts)

This should be in the wheel section. But yes, there is a certain convo pro wheel, 15x8.5 I believe, which has a 5.5 backspace, that bolts right up, that is the only 15x8 wheel I know of that will work, until the Greg Weld rears come out. 15x8 draglites/prostars do not require much grinding at all though, compared to a 15x10, I'd just go that route.

My 1st set of rear wheels were the Convo pros. No grinding on a complete stock rear set up.

+1 on the Centerline Convo-Pro, 15x8.5 w/ 5.5 BS. I ran them for 2 years without any modifications.... they are about the only wheel that's even legal with the stock length wheel studs. They're not cheap though... but if you consider the price of studs and that swap it may be worth it. I just sold my full set with front runners for $500.
