Just got off the phone with Centerline...
I called them to ask about Convo Pro's and if they would fit a C3 Vette.. and they told me that they won't clear the calipers :skep: :skep: :skep:
I just bought a set off Ebay (but haven't received them yet) and now I'm concerned.. I have read in several threads that Convo Pro's will fit C3's without spacers.. I'm concerned now... :eek: :eek:
Is anybody here actually using them???

Don't have first hand experience, but I can't see why you couldn't make them work with quality spacers. :cheers:

i have them on my 82, 15X8 or 8.5 w/ 3.5 b.s. they fit fine and they are close to the calipers but dont hit them. I bought these years ago from supershops. So dont know if centerline changed the design or not but I love mine.

You can also grind the calipers a little bit if the interference isn't that bad.

Re: Just got off the phone with Centerline... (GrandSportC3)
I run them on my 76 with my race tires
The rims fit with about 1mm or less clearance (without grinding the caliper). It's mainly the raised letters on the caliper that are in the way. Grind them off if you don't like the closeness.
Since my Eagle alloys need a 1/8" spacer I just leave them in when I go racing.

Striker427 (or something like) that has them on his C3. I was talking to him about them and he did not mention any clearance issues :D
