Re: Cragars?
Yah, I was looking at these a last year and then got away from them and started looking for more of a 5 spoke look. But after seeing how thy look on your car i fell in love with them. Lol your car looks so sick with those on there. That's a great point on the 17s I was lookin on summit last night bu couldn't fins how much these weigh. What I'm goin to do for now is weight till after I get it painted to see how the black on my stocks even looks with the two tone colors I'm doin, black on top and atomic orange on the bottom, then go from there. I'll prbly just keep my stocks until after I get the rest of the car finished, interior/rearend. But ik I'm def gunna put some 295s on it while I'm waiting to pick out the rims I really want. I love the price of these, quality made with the cragar name too. But I love how your car looks Tony, it made me want to just paint my car complelty black like what I was gunna do before. Lol
Tony.

Re: Cragars?
^^^ thats wut i was planning to do (murdering out my car) but seeing those cragars actually on a car and for how inexpensive they are im gonna have to pick up a set hopefully..... but after paint though lol.....
my question is..... if i where to get the 15x10s how much further out of the fender wall are we talking here like maybe an inch or 2 inches?? and if they do stick out are we talking major rub with decent sized tire??

Re: Cragars?
Thats all they supply for these wheels, 15x10 4" back spacing, thats it, theres nothing else. SO if i went with these wheels, what would be the spacer I'd want then? or would I not need one? I might need this explained to me again. These are the only 15x10 they supply, thats what i'll have to go with..
btw this will be front wheels: http://www.jegs.com/i/Cragar/260/342...oductId=751048
Your earlier post said I need a 15x10 with 5.5" backspacing, so then does that mean i need a 1.5"? since it comes as 4".
I wish i had a good picture to display what my idea is of what i want..

The min. you need is a 5.5 backspacing with a 15x10 rim. The best fit with the option of running a bigger tire is the 15x10 with a 6.5 backspacing.

Re: Cragars?
If thats all they supply then your asked out or SOL. There's no need for a spacer with a 15x10 with 4" of backspacing it would make the rim stick farther out of the wheel well. You need a 15x10 with 6.5" of backspacing which puts the rim in the wheel wheel farther because the rim is 10" wide.
The min. you need is a 5.5 backspacing with a 15x10 rim. The best fit with the option of running a bigger tire is the 15x10 with a 6.5 backspacing.

Re: Cragars?
5.5 backspacing will work but in my eyes and others on the board sticks out to far from the fender lip with big tires. 6.5 backspacing is what gets the rims inside the fender lip and tucks the rim and tire inside the wheel well. But if you go this route you need to modify the wheel well a little or alot depending on what tire size you go with.

Re: Cragars?
Do a search on both backspacings and see which you like more then
Pick from one of these depending on your backspacing choice

Re: Cragars?
I honestly don't like the look of any of those... I think i'll just do the 15x7 all around and see what happens... I just wanted a wider tire in the back to have stagger look and more tire on the ground.. thank you for all your help!
they are 15x7 stock for rs wheels, correct?

Re: Cragars?
Also you can go with these rims
I was going to buy some of these a while ago they would look killer as well.
