Cragar S/S Wheels / Spacers
I am looking at putting my all-time favorite wheel, the Cragar S/S, on my 65 convertible. However, it (the S/S) needs a 'spacer kit' to clear the caliper. Has anyone had experience with this spacer and this wheel, and can you tell me what to expect ?
Many Thanks!

I run spacers on my 68 Camaro. 1" drop blocks required it to clear lower shock mount. Thousands of miles no problem!

I have same Cragar SS wheels and spacers put on in 1971. The only
problem was the rear outside bleeder gets ground off a little depending
on production tolerences.

I am going the same route with my 66 coupe. I contacted Cragar directly and they provided the following part numbers - #61615 for the wheels and #29200 for the spacers. I am at work and not 100% sure of the numbers, but if they are not right, I will post tomorrow.

How about those pics. I too would like to see some pics of some Vette's with Cragar S/S. I'm on the verge of purchasing a set of Cragar S/S for my '64.

I have the Cragars on my 63. Although I really like the look I don't like that after 3 months I'm starting to get rust on the rim and its creeping out from the joint between the aluminum center and the steel rim. They have a one year warranty and I'm seriously considering exchanging them for the Torque Thrust D wheels.
