Default Wheel Spacers or Adapters?

I purchased my '75 with Cragar SS wheels, and I would like to change the wheels back to the ralleys. I noticed my ralley wheels would not fit into the current adapter. Was this adapter changed to accomodate the Cragar SS weels? If so, any suggestion on what I need to do to get the Ralleys back in the car. Thank you in advance. Fred

You shouldn't need the adapters to run the stock Ralley wheels. They were often necessary for Cragar and other aftermarket wheels.

Thanks Roughrider, I can see how easy it is to remove the adapters. Is that all required to add the new stock wheels? I plan on doing all this in the morning and I don't know anything about the size. Thanks again, Fred

If they're the correct rally wheels, they should just pop on. They should be 15"x8".
