Hi.
About rims, Center Line Convo Pro, 15in.

Any of you have any experience with Convo Pro's on a IROC-Z?

Do they have any 15in-size that would fit?

How about this:
Front: 215/60/15 (15in x 6in)
Back: 245/60/15 (15in x 8in or 15in x 8,5in ?)

Any suggestion?
Thanks for any help!

 

Welcome to Thirdgen!

I run them at the track on my Formula. 15x8.5, with 5" B/S in the rear, and 15x4 in the front. I would not use them on a driver though. One pothole, and they will be trashed.

8.5s would be better in the rear, IMO. Make sure you get the correct B/S, or they will look out of place.

 

Here a couple of shots of mine. Ive had them for ages now. I run 15x7 front and 15x8.5 up back. Cant remember the back spacing tho...

 

Thanks "brutalform"!
As I can see ( Centerline Wheels ) theres only one current BS at 15x8,5 rims. BS=5".
Would Weld Pro Stars be a better choice, or are they the "same" strength?

Raven90IROC, what is your rim size front and back? Any rubbing?
And what is your suspension setup (springs) ?

Thanks.
Nice cars you have!

 

IIRC, Weld wheels are a bit lighter than the Convos, and they are available with 5.5" B/S, which is better for our cars than 5". I was going to get Welds but I liked the Convo design a little better, so I went with those instead.

 

I have 15x 8 with 5.5" back space on my 83 they look great I have some pics if I knew how to attach them !!

 

Car looks awesome, what size are the rear tires?

 

Thanx mate I am running 8.5" convo-pro's with 28 x 9.0 x15 slicks Traction IS an issue but I have trouble running a bigger tyre as the arch comes down so hard on launch it tends to hit anything bigger

 

rat infested, are you running 8" or 8.5" ?
Where can I find pic's of your car?

IROCZZ502, what size are your Draglite's?


Thanks.

 

My Draglites are 15x8 with a m/t 26x10.5, but this tire on an 8 inch rim is only about 9 inches wide, I want to put a bigger tire size like a hoosier QTP 27x11.5,but i'm not sure if the tire will fit.

 

My wheels are 8.5" x 15" with a 5.5" backspace ( a little massaging to fit with Mickey T 295/15 tyres) ther are some pics and more details of my car at car domain try this link ( it should work) 1983 Chevrolet Camaro - Craig's Chevrolet

 

As I can see from Center Line's web site, Convo Pro's can be ordered at this size/backspace:
15x8.0" --> BS 4.5"
15x8.5" --> BS 5.0"
15x9.0" --> BS 6.5"

Right?

So if I want Convo's 15x8.5"-bs5 is the way to go?

Prostar and Draglite can be ordered as 15x8"-bs5.5 I think.

Hard to decide what to choose... Convos, Prostar or Draglite...

Anyway, Thanks for all replys!

 

IMO id go with the draglites...They're just real good looking and on a camaro im sure it would look a hell of a lot better.

 

Convo Pros FTW!!!



:P

 

Like it! Very nice !

What are your tire setup (front & rear), and springs ?

 

Dear 1987_BLUE_IROC I am a dumbass I was getting mixed up with the wheel size I am running 8.5" x 15" x 5" back space !!! While I'm on does anone know if I can run a bigger slick than my M/T 28" x 9" x 15"'s I was looking at a 10.5" tyre (oops sorry forgot you guys spell it different TIRE) . but I cant take anymore metal out behind the wheel or off my arches Any Ideas ??

 

In that pic im running 235s up front (cant remember the wall size) with K-mac 1.5" lowering springs and 275/60/15s up back with K-mac standard high springs and HD shocks.
