5 lugs on 4.75" circle.

My Weld Pro-Star 15x3.5's run a 1.75" BS. Your 15x4's should be at least 2" BS. Might even go to 2.5" if it is available, to tuck the tires into the fenders a little. Mine are too close to the outside edge of the fender.

I don't think the Convo-Pro's require a spacer to clear the brake pad clips and caliper support bar, but you might want to verify. I know the Welds require a 5/16" spacer, which contributes to the outside of the tire being too close to the fender line.

thanks....the convo pros don't require spacers, which was a huge part in the decision to go with those.

Thanks again for the measurements
