Cragar Delux 69 wheels
I'm gonna get these wheels for my 72 Blazer 2WD 5 lug. Its going to be lowered with a 5/7 drop. Should I get 15x7 wheels or 15x8?
Let me know

Re: Cragar Delux 69 wheels
I'd say it depends on the tire size you plan on running.
Did you know U.S. Wheel also makes a similar wheel? It's the Series 68 "Rat Rod". Just an F.Y.I. in case you were interested in comparing prices. |

Re: Cragar Delux 69 wheels
If you're thinking about trying to run those chrome spider caps, don't waste you're money. They won't clear the front hub on 71-72 c10's. The hubs are larger on 71-72s then the other years because of the disk brakes. Just went through this couple weeks ago with a new set. Had to send back and lost $$ on the return shipping. Just a heads up.

Re: Cragar Delux 69 wheels
They are bad a** looking. I love them. The cap won't seat all the way on the wheel. Gets maybe 3/4 over then the spider cap cone hits the hub. I didn't even think to look into having the hub milled. Tried to fit it, it didn't. Threw back in box. Maybe if you have a supplier close to you or a buddy who has a set, even if they are not 5x5 just to get the size of the center bullet. I hope it does work work out, maybe I'll look into it again.

Re: Cragar Delux 69 wheels
Not sure about that. If you want I could measure the hub in my 71. See if it's any different. Won't be back in town until Monday though. Just drove into Reno.

Cragar makes a bullet center cap that may work and have a similar look.
