[QUOTE=Street Shaker;1590391789]What do you guys think? rear ones are 3 weeks out.
I thought the Convo pros looked good....I'll let you know in 3 weeks.
What size wheels and tires?
I see calibers/rotors in your future

I have offset trailing arms and have Center line Convo Pro's 15 x 12 with 4 3/4 backspace and had no problem fitting them. Weld's regular series rims have 11" centers and wont clear the brakes but Weld also have RT series rims that have 13.5" wide centers to clear bigger brakes and have 4 1/2 backspace. I did lots of measuring before ordering lol, should fit with no problems.

Those wheels are cool, see them a lot now on race cars. Do they say WELD on the inner rim of the wider ones ?

I ordered rear with ultralight bidlock's and they are four weeks out, I'll post some pics soon as I get them.
Front ones on this pics are 17", friend of my just got them for his car and I was trying them on to see if they fit to clear brakes I ordered 15".

I had those Convo Pro's for a long time and wanted to switch to Bidlock wheels.
Front tires are M/T Sportsman S/R Radials 26 x 6.5 x 15, Rear tires M/H Radials 325/50R x 15
Front rims 15 x 3.5, rear rims 15 x 12
Convo Pro rims will be for FOR SALE and they are in excellent condition, if anyone interested let me know.
I have a set of 15 x 6 with M/T Sportsman tires 26 x 8.5, 6 ply front tires.
Set of 15 x 4 and set of 15 x 12

I think it will be a lot easier to comment once you have the wheels you ordered and your Corvette is sitting on the ground. In the mean time you have successfully sparked our interest.

I do have flares, rear rims on this photos are 15 x 12 with 4.75 BS.
Do to back space available from Weld's I ended up ordering Weld RT-S V series S76B for rear 15 x 11 with 4.5 BS, they will pull tire in 1/4 from rims that are on car now on photos above.

Did you ever get it dialed in at the drag strip? We finally got ours into the 9's with our 582 pump gas combination thanks to Steve Schmidt racing.

Very cool, looking forward to seeing the new Welds. I wish your roll cage guy was closer to Florida. The craftsmanship on your C3 is outstanding.

Been busy at work and spending little time I had at the track testing with my Outlaw 10.5 Camaro trying to get it dialed in and been struggling to get the power to the ground. Really wanted to spend some time at the track with Vette and after all this time push it to it's limits but just couldn't get a chance to, with track being closed out here over the winter time, would have to wait for next year.
My Vette is 3730lbs race ready W/driver, few passes I made foot braking it went 10.20's @ 134 mph, with little more track time and little better 60' it should go 10.0's without hitting nitrous ( I hope lol).
