Default Cragars on my '75

Just wanted to share some information for anyone who's interested in Cragar (Old School!) mags for their vette. After thoroughly researching the forum I still ordered the wrong size wheels! Talked to a technician at Summit and ended up with this setup that fit perfect. Cragar 61815, (Summitt #CRR-61815) And Cragar adaptor kit which has 1/4" spacers and lug nuts, Part #29200 (Summit CRR-29200) No problems clearing the calipers and look great! See avatar! Maybe this will help the next Cragar guy!

Looks good! I like the Cragar wheel too. I went with the all aluminum 17" CRR-610P783445 wheels are perfect. No spacers and the correct conical lug pattern.

Personally, I think the Crager is the best set of wheels ever made. Guess it just shows my age.

I absolutely love old school 15" Cragar S/S wheels. My favorite wheel of all time, with no #2 in sight.
