This is not the best angle for trying to identify the wheels. Aside from that there's at least a couple of distractions.

Cragers
I have a 1969, want to put Cragers on it. any tech info on spacer size & any other modifications? I'd really like to run 8" on front & 10" on back with some Mickey Thompsons...

if u use actual Cragars they are no designed for disc brakes. U will need very thick spacers to clear. I have 4 8" wheels I will sell ya but strongly recommend going with a cragar knock off by American racing or the like that is designed for disc brakes.

I just purchased a 1979 corvette with a Greenwood "style" body kit on it and it has two piece, 15 x13 wheels in back with 3.25 backspacing and 10 x 15 wheels in front ( didn't measure back spacing yet). Tires are BFG p295/50r/15 in rear and p265/50r/15 in front. Oh, and the rims are center lock rims. Does anyone know where I can get new tires to fit these rims?

The 265 is going to be an issue. Maybe switch to a 255 or 275 instead.

Fit check, Vintage Wheels, Super Lights, 15" X 8", with 4" backspacing, Hub centric. Going to mount up BFG's 245-60-R15's, front and rear, which is what I'm running now on the stock rally's.
