hello ya'll.. i have 2 15*6 cragar s/s's that i had got from a friend.
i was thinking about using them on he front and getting a pair of 15*8 or 10's w/ 5 to 5.5" bs.
i was wandering if cragar has the s/s's w/ a 5 or 5.5" in either of the 15*8 or 10's. or will i have to get them custom made? ive seen them w/ 4.5" bs but that wasnt enough..
and one more thing.. the 5 or 5.5" bs w/ 295/50 rubbers on them will clear w 71 fenderwell (rear) right?

If you get the 15x8's you'd be fine with 4.5" of backspace. If you go with the 15x10's, they would need 5.5" bs and I don't know if Cragar makes them that way. Check their web site. I've been there and do remember that it lists all the standard sizes and backspacing for each wheel that they make.

i was doing some searching and i could find was that they came with the biggest 4.5" bs.
so i guess ill be getting a pair of 15*8's.
also.. does anybody happen to know what bs you need to run a 245 50 ish tire on the front?

aaron </font>[/QUOTE]Im running 245/60's on Cragars in the front with 4.5 BS. not a problem. On the rear I have 295/50's on the same 15X8 Cragar rims. Had a slight rubbing problem on the right side which I corrected using a set of AirLift air bags with about 15 lbs of air. Car does not look "jacked up" but it does prevent the spring from full compression and rubbing.
Hope this helps.
