I was not aware that Center Line made a 15x8 Convo Pro with our bolt pattern (5 x 4.75") with 5” back space. If they do it should fit well.
What I do know is that the Convo Pro 15x7 with 5”bs and the 15x8.5 with 5”bs fit without any grinding or spacers.
See pictures here. There are two pages of pictures.

Most companies pricing has changed due to material costs going out of the roof.
15x8's are really too small for late model F-bodies. 5.5" is the largest you can get in many of their wheels...which are all too short of a backspace. If I built you an 8, it would be closer to 6" in backspace which centers the wheel in the wheel-well better. Like mentioned, I'd highly recommend staying away from 8" or smaller wheels for F-bodies....9" is the smallest I'd even consider.
Backspace options really aren't the best with centerline. They are also among the heaviest drag-wheels available. If you want an economy wheel, I'd pick welds economy line of prostars or draglites in 10's with the larger backspace option. Do NOT choose smaller then a 10" wheel for the typical 26x11.5 or 275/50 that most of you guy are running.
From the looks of it, their pricing has jumped quite a bit. I can build you a set of our Bogarts which are designed to fit for your car as well as optioned with the best backspacing to meet your goals. Our wheels are also the lightest direct fit wheel on the market today.
With us, you would not have a "one size fits most" wheel...setup for a variety of bolt patterns etc etc...you would be receiving a wheel specifically built for your application.
If you need more assistance with our products, feel free to call or e-mail me directly. I'll be in the office tomorrow.
I hope this helps.

If you're dead set on them, go for it. Since wheels are probably one of the most seen modification and make the cars appearance stick with your gut.
For ~100.00 more/wheel, you could be purchasing our Bogart wheels which can be made specifically for car, ~10-11lbs per same sized wheel as listed above...essentially half the weight of your stock wheel. Spacers are not necessary, fitment is best...worring about caliper clearance is not an issue. The wheels are all finished to a show-car shine. Resale is also fantastic if you ever decided to sell our Bogarts.
Once again, good luck on your results!

E-bay can be a good source of used items...many times seeing things that are not typically available elsewhere...it seems some are using them for the "earn 1000's from at home" scheme.
Stick with vendors who support the automotive sites you go on and frequent. We pay to keep these sites going. Many of us answer your questions, back up your purchases and are here to help.

I'm not sure what setup we are building this for since you've got a few different cars under your sig.
Please, the best thing to do is to e-mail or call me directly and I would be happy to discuss everything that you'd need and price the setup as to what dictates how I have to build it for the setup. Pricing really depends on what components I put together for the application. The email link below will walk you through what I need to know (or just call me if e-mails aren't your cup of tea).
