Had my Cragers on for 28 yrs now and the Chrome is still in great shape, no peeling.

I don't know but watching with interest... in case I jump off in this direction myself. Please send me, or post a pic if/when you do with the sizes.

Raised white letter tires are a must.... very nice looking!

What year is the car, is it a vert, or coup?
What is the offset/back space of the rims?
Are they direct drilled, or do they have washers?
Did you have to use spacers?
Thanks

I like the sound of this, and I'm sure I would like the look too, a few questions for ya.
What year is the car, is it a vert, or coup? 73 coup
What is the offset/back space of the rims? Do not recall, some 25 yrs ago i put Cragers on
Are they direct drilled, or do they have washers? no understand question
Did you have to use spacers? Yes, think they're 1/2" spacers but not sure
Thanks

PS, for the record, they are CRAGARS. Not Crager, Craigers or anything else.

I ordered my tires and rims yesterday from Discount Tire, They gave me a 10% military discount, and another 10% off for their Memorial Day sale, and we'll get 3% cash back on our credit card. Mounted, balanced, and out the door for a grand total of $1,378.50, which also includes life of tire maintenance. Pretty good deal I thought

Personally I have always liked Cragar SS wheels but I LOVE Keystone Klassics and recently put a set on my 57. I had them on my 1971 Warbonnet yellow coupe back in 1973 also. You seldom see them these days which makes them rather unique.
