I would like to put a set of Cragar SS wheels on my 66 coupe. Does anyone here have these wheels on their car and what size works best with what size tire? I am thinking 6 or 7 inch wide, but what backspace is needed? And, what size tire can I go with? Thanks.

I am running a set of American racing wheeles ( 15X7 Torq Thrust II) on my 67 conv with a set of coker calssic P195-75R 15 tires.
No fit problems at all.

I have American TTIIs on mine, but from what I've learned on this subject from this forum in the past, you will have to use spacers with the Cragars because the spokes won't clear the brake calipers.

I have Crager SS 15" X 6 " , with Crager spinners... 215 X 65 R 15 " tires, on my triple black 1966 B/B/.....They really set off the black paint....only problem you need 1/2" spacers to clear calipers......... the Dog

Even with the spacers I love them. You can check out my photos at the left.

dmentzer me too. asked same question last month. best reply i got was buy from 'jegs' $100+ per wheel. also buy cragar spacer #29200 'corvette spacer kit', comes with spacers and long lug nuts. 205 tire width is best [thats for 15x6 wheels]. don't remember who offered info but i was pleased to get it. good luck bc

Wondering if any problems with spacers? are they safe?

Another option I thought of was rally wheels. Were the rallys that came on a 67 6" or 7"? And, is there a source for them? I see 8" listed at various sites but no 6" or 7".

'67 rallys were 15x6 with +.06" offset; all the Corvette vendors sell repros of that wheel.

no, you have to check wheel tourque ..also when mounted you have to tighten the wheel nuts in a gradual sequence & most impotanytly after first 10 miles & next 5o miles then every couple of weeks, But they sure look good.the Dog

I wrote the advice about the Wheels from Jegs. I think the 15x6's are actually $110 now. They also only charged me 8$ shipping for all 4 wheels combined!

No probs with the spacers. Check for tightness occasionally, and run the heck out of them -- I do!

I had whitewalls on in this pic, but now have Pirellis on them.

Running 205/70/15's at the moment, no rubbing issues at all.

I just put these on this summer- 225/70R15 on 15x6s. There is some slight rubbing on the front, like when turning around in my driveway, lock to lock. NBD.
