The rear Convo Pros are 15x9 and the front are 15x7. The rear tire are 26x10.5-15 Mickey Tompson ET Street. The front are 26x7.5-15 BF Goodrich. Thanks I really like the Convo Pros also. I think they look the best on the the Vettes. :)

Check my sig pic for my Edelbrock thunder Series 650 AVS. Best damn carb I've ever had. Bolted it on and never had to do a thing to it. Even the mixture screws were dead nuts on.
