I have Cragers on mine (new forged), 17x8 with 4.5" backspace, and used 1/4" spacers in the rear. I have a bit of front rub at full lock, but decided to live with it. If you can get these w/3.75" or 4" back space you should not require spacers. One note of caution: don't use the cheap spacers; they move and can cause problems.

I just bought a set. From Jegs it's a 7/16 spacer. Call Crager they will give you all the part #'s the spacer kits come with lugs also. Don't let them sell you that other kit Mr. Gasket I think it doesn't include the lugs. If you need I'll look at my invoice for you.

On Jegs it is $12.99 for a package that contains 2 (I think). How does that compare to Cragar? I already have the long shank lugs. When I bought the vette, it had the Cragars on with 2 spacers on each wheel. I think they are 1/4 or maybe 3/8 each. But it doesn't seem safe to have two. I think they may throw out the balance of the wheel.

Suggest you get the spacers made out of billet aluminum. Do the measurements yourself and take them to a machine shop.
You are gonna want the studs to fit perfectly into the spacers.

Be cautioned that i am having problems getting wheels in that were in decent shape, the vendor i bought them from sent out in a cardboard box and nothing else. The wheels all arrived damaged and sent them back. Received 4 more and same thing 2 of those were damaged. Sent those 2 back for a refund and ordered the remaining 2 from Jegs which are due to arrive tomorrow. Price was the same at either vendor
I put just the wheel on and they really looked good, best part is they are chrome and no need to polish.
You will need to buy the conical lugs for them. Jegs part # for wheels is 260-617834p, for the lugs use 260-27802-4
Went with Fuzion ZRI tires, they are made by Bridgestone. 255/50/17 will maintain stock diameter.

Got mine from Summit.Had no problems,arrived in perfect condition.I could not find a local dealer that was under 150.00 ea plus they wanted to charge shipping and taxes,so Summit was a lot cheaper.
P/N was CRR-61815.
