Cragar SS Wheels?
Does anyone have Cragar SS's mounted on a 1970 or equivalent? I love these wheels and would like to get them for my car, but I have been told that they will not fit because of clearance issues with the brake caliper.

My 75 had them. I used a thin spacer and had no issues with it.

The spacers are 1/2" thick. They were available from Cragar when I got my SS's.

Somebody put my Cragars on with two spacers. They total about 3/8 of an inch, but they are a PITA when you try to put the wheels on. You can't get both of them and the wheel aligned to get the lug nuts on. If it wasn't so expensive to change them I would.

I would think that's likely the case as well. I'm planning on getting cragar's for my car as well and its got to be cragars as the arched spokes of the Torque thrusts don't like right to me - trouble is I don't think spacers are street legal in my jusrisdiction so if Cragar doesn't make a wheel that fits without them I'll have to stick with my stock rims.
