Quick Question?

Post by RWG »

Will 15X10 Cragar SS fit on the rear of my 72 Bump?
She has 15X8 on her now and the set of Cragar's I'm looking at are 15X8 front and 15X10 rear...

why wouldnt they. its the tire size you would have to worry about. as long as the tires dont hit the fenders your good to go with any width wheel.

Cool I just wanted to here it from someone else prior to dropping the $$$ and finding out later that they were just a tad wide for the rear end.

Thanks FM for your help!

our rear fender wells wont take more than about 4" of back spacing. i had some 275/60r 17's on mine and they rubbed the inner fender wells. the wheels had 4" of b/s and the tire tread width was about 9" (goodyear eagle gt 2's). hope this helps.

Cool thanks.... Now lets go over lug patterns.... Cragar made a universal 5 hole pattern correct?
It will fit 5 on 4.5.......5 on 4.75 and 5 on 5 Correct?

can't answer that, but you need 5x5.5 if your stock.

You are both correct in your statements!!! the universals will not work you need the 5x5.5 bolt pattern unless you have adaptors or changed out the axles and front hubs to different pattern... Here is the info for the 15" Cragar, they do make a 5x5.5 - 8" and 10" wide wheel... http://www.cragarwheel.com/scripts/seri ... ries_61_08 this also list the backspacing of the wheels, the 10" have 4.25 so you may need to add a spacer if Ezer is correct on the 4"...
