Real cragers

im am looking at buying real 15in cragers, they are off of an 81' corvette. they guy wants $400 for all four and like new bfg radial t/a's. the tires prolly have atleast 1000 miles on them. the guy does not drive the car at all. wondering if i should ****** them up, and if they will look good/decent on my car. i havea 91' camaro rs..305ci auto with the stock 16in wheels.


the tires are 255/60/15 on all four corners. i am currently running 235/55/16 rear and 225/50/16 up front.

thank you..and if anyone has cragers on there camaro post some pics of it thank you.

Re: Real cragers

need to know the width and backspacing to see if they would even fit right first.

personally, i feel those wheels are played out, and look bad on a 3rd gen, but thats just me.

need the width of backspacing of the WHEEL.

i can assume they are 15x8, but without the backspacing, i cant tell you if it will fit right.

if you want them, and the price is good, and you can sell them if all else fails, buy them

Re: Real cragers

If they fit the 81 vette right there is a pretty good chance they will fit your car OK (should have the same backspacing as your fronts--I think...). But as others have said you need to check the backspacing...
