I called and talked to a junior guy at Centerline. Off the top of his head, the Telstar uses different wheel shells so it would have to be 15x8 or 15x10. I hope to hear back from our senior contact but with SEMA coming up it's been problematic. We'll see.

So what's the word on these? I see on Centerline's website, they offer a 15x9 with 6.5" BS in a 5x4.75" bolt pattern. the part number listed is 5907 547.

That is the correct wheel but it will still require some caliper grinding to fit. I have not heard if Centerline is going to “tweak” the wheel any to make it no grinding required.

See pictures here of the wheels and calipers (page 2)

http://www.wheels.ls1tech.com/galler...&g2_itemId=193

I did the grinding with a flat file. It took me about 1 hour but I would file a little and then test fit and so on.
With a real grinder it would not take more than 15 min of grinding/test fitting.

I am still waiting for them to fix the brake clearance issues on the 15x9 Convo Pros. When they do that, I will buy the backs.

Are they planning to update them or there are no current plans for that?

Last time I heard was that they are just going to leave them. Still though, if you went with their 15x9, you don't have to grind nearly as much as you do for the Weld Prostars & Draglites.
