This was the convertor Jack recommended for me. On another note, I'm thinking of purchasing 15x10 Street Lites to use with my 295 MT's. How do your 10's fit your car and what tires are you using on the street? Sorry, I don't remember. It's been a while since I've seen you. Brian
Hi Brian...thanks for your reply about the converter. My friend Martin also has an ATI and has good results with it, better than with his previous one (PTC).
About my 15"x10" Street Lites, mine have a 4.5" rear spacing and fit ok with some P275-60-15 tires and NO frame notch. They're close to the frame inside (about 1/2"), but absolutely no rubbing. Below are some pictures (viewed under the car in front of the rear tires) showing the clearance between the frame and tire's sidewall bulge...Hope this helps!
One last note...I use a 1/4" spacer on the left side to have the same clearance on both sides (as the rear axle is rarely perfectly centered under the car... )
Take care,
regards,

Claude.
