Default My new drag wheel/tire setup- Convo Pros

Well, here she is...the way I'm gonna roll at the track in '08:







Front: 15x4 Convo Pros w/ 1.75" backspace
Rear: 15x9 Convo Pros w/ 6.5" backspace

MANY MANY thanks to JNorris on here for providing me the part numbers of the rear wheels and pictures of his Camaro with them on it.

I'm gonna try to make it....I'm running in the Vamp Heads Up race the day before, so I'm not sure if the Mrs. will give me a "kitchen pass" for both days or not at this point. LOL

No. Convo pros fit without grinding, and without spacers. I just wish they made them in a 15x10 with 7.5 BS. I miss my old convo pro's

That's actually not true....with these Convo Pros I did have to grind the calipers and the caliper brackets a little bit to get them to clear. I've heard on a 15x8.5/5.5" backspace Convo Pro no grinding is necessary, but it was with these.

Weird. Mine bolted right on. But I did have to grind when I sold them and went to Weld wheels.

Thanks....I simply LOVE this car. WAY more fun to drive than the 1990 Mustang LX 5.0 I used to have before it, and this car is almost as fast as that Mustang with a 155K mile STOCK LS1 LOL.

Oh OK, that's right...I remember you asking me about that now.

Are you coming out to the Shootout on the 13th?

Car looks sick.

How did the fronts fit? What tires are you running up front?
