Help with Convo Pro rear wheels I need a little help figuring out which rear Center Line Convo Pros fit without grinding/spacers. I think its this one, but I'm not sure:
Size: 15 x 8.5
Rear Spacing: 5"
Bolt Circle: 5x4.5 & 5x4.75
Jegs Part #: 184-005855507
Anyone know if that's the correct wheel? I plan on running the 275/60/15 (28") MT ET Street Drag Radials on them.
Thanks!

you need a 7.5 if your rear end is stock length. i have 15x8.5's on it for the street tires and they fit PERFECTLY with 1.5 knocked off each side. with the 15x10's, the tires stick out a bit but not to much so it looks okay still and they shouldn't rub once you roll the fender lip

Thanks for the reply, chp! Ok, so 7.5 backspacing is needed on a 15x8.5 wheel? I'm not finding those on Jeg's website...
I could have sworn someone posted up a Convo Pro rear wheel that fits without grinding/spacers that they bought from Jegs... just wish I could search here for the part number.

Actually, what you will need is a Convo-Pro with 5.5" backspacing in a 15x7.5" wide wheel. I read about it here some where, but I can't seem to find the thread. In thread it stated that the 7.5" wheel would look the same as a 15x10" wheel with 7.5" backspace, except you won't be able to fit a bigger tire.

Ok, after doing some searching, looks like the 15x8.5, 5" backspacing, 4.75 bolt pattern Convo Pros will fit without spacers or grinding. Here's a couple of threads from this board, and from another one:

Also, I saw that the 15x7.5, 5" backspacing, 4.75 bolt pattern will tuck into the well a little better and won't stick out as much as the 15x8.5.
