Without modifications ... the centerline Convo Pros are the only ones.

With very little modifications (grinding the calipers) ... the Weld Pro Stars or Draglites ... or most 15" wheels.

I just bolted a pair of 15x3.5" Bogarts on the front of my Formula. No grinding and no spacers.

Albert is correct.

I worked in conjuction with Bogart to make them a direct fitment for LS1 and LT1 cars specifically. I initiated this program last year...it's starting to really catch on as f-bodies are realizing the rims are the best out there! Now, there is a variety of designs to meet many folks tastes.

PS, Albert, I didn't know you were a moderator on here. Shoot me an email when you get the chance.
