Cragers Anyone?
 

I value your input.

So I've decided to go with Cragars on my 71, and I found these online. I've read several threads and got confused by all the back and forth of rim/tire size. I've never bought tires and rims for a 1971 Vette before, so I don't know what I don't know, please help. As for tires,I'm thinking about 70s in front and 60s in the rear.

Cragar <-Manufacturer
SS SPR Sport 08/61<--wheel style/model
15 X8 <--diam/width
5-114.30/120.65 <--5 bolt pattern, i think these are oval holes, youll need proper mag studs/nuts. chevy is 5 x 4.75" idk what metric is, but its close to 120
-6<-- offset, mm from width center that the mounting face is offset. c3 15x8 have offset 0, centered. so 4 " backspace with -6 wheel sticks out 6mm shouldnt be a problem
CSCHCL <--- likely dealer code for wheel finish. Chrome Steel wheel, Chrome center, Chrome Lip.

I love ‘em.

SS and Keystone Classic are 2 timeless wheel designs.

Thank you for the information, I do appreciate it. I can get these, Series 61C - S/S Super Sport Direct Drill, they cost more, but I won't have to mess with the washers.

Those look great....as said timless! Kinda like rallyes and centerlines

They look great, nice car! How wide are those rims and tires, and are they the same on front and back?

That's a great looking car! :thumbs:

Worked at an auto parts store in the 60s. Even back then Cragers were the most popular with the Uni Lug, but they were pricey.

I always loved Craigers... The original hot rod wheel...👍🏻

The Cragers are good looking and IMHO just "look right".

8 inch, same size front and back. :thumbs:

Spacer needed .

Only dislike is they are on the heavy side.

I put the Cragars on the car as an alternative look to the redlines and rallys a couple years ago, just for a change of pace.

I like the look so much I can’t take them off!

You can now get the SS style in chrome plated aluminun......saves a ton of weight. They are called the Vintage Series. I bought a set of these........https://www.summitracing.com/parts/c...3442/overview/

These look good too. And the price is nice.

+1 - get the same size front and rear, tires too. 255/70-15's are a good size.

Order all from Discount Tire Direct and they will mount balance and ship right to you.
