Post by: john302 on January 13, 2008, 02:48:56 PM

Does anyone know if the new crager ss wheels that you can purchase today are the same as the ones in the 60/70s?If they are different what has changed on them? also what size would look/fit the best on a 68z/28. 15 inch by 6 or 7inch with the stock Goodyear Wide treads.     Thanks John

I think the spoke has changed somewhat. There was a discussion on another board about this not lond ago. I have not had a chance to compare side by side.  Maybe someone who has actually seen them can chime in. Jim

I have some on my 68. They are about year & half old. The new ones are all uni-lug and have alot better chrome on them ibn the lug area. If you have a factory disk brake car you will have to run a spacer in the front to keep the calipers from hitting the spokes. I have 15x6 on front & 15x7 on rear. They give it that Grumpy Jenkins Super Stock look!

They are what ever stock is. The spacer I used was made by Mr. Gasket, I think it is around 7/16. If you have front drums you won't need it. Front tires are 215-60-15  rears 255-60-15. No rubbing at all. Hope this helps John
