will the back spacing work????

68Stepbed · 05-12-2011, 09:31 AM

It doesn't give any info about backspacing. I know those wheels are designed for the 99-up Chevy/GMC trucks, so the offset may look kinda goofy on the 67-72 trucks.

Agreed. You would need to use a fairly thick wheel spacer. Just something about 6 spokes and very little dish on those Cragars looks wierd... maybe its just me.

How about a set of vintage slots?

I hung a set of stock wheels off of a 07 Duramax (probably same backspacing as you are looking at) on mine. They sat way inside the fenders - like at least 2". Looked really odd to me.

what about a set of TORQ TRUST ST would they look the same as that

They do show a +20mm offset, which works out on a 9" rim to be roughly 5.25" backspace.

there is a pic on here cause i remember wheels, but i cant find it. but they have no lip theres a member on here with a yellow and white 6 lug very nice wheels.

Zoomin · 05-12-2011, 10:56 PM

If they are true to Cragar form, the chrome will start pitting and flaking after a year, and they weigh a ton. But they do look nice while they last.

original-71 · 05-12-2011, 11:05 PM

there are alot of other nice 6 lugs wheels out there also..

cardreams · 05-13-2011, 12:01 AM

try the summit legend wheels....http://www.summitracing.com/search/P...=legend+wheels

68Stepbed · 05-13-2011, 11:25 AM

They will work, but if you look closely, there's no dish in the front of the wheel. It basically still looks like a late model wheel on a classic.

cardreams · 05-13-2011, 05:07 PM

has anyone used the summit wheels any pics of them on a truck ?

big mike71 · 05-13-2011, 06:40 PM

I have the legend five spoke, I think they look good.

cardreams · 05-13-2011, 09:17 PM
