Love my cragar's

[drewdude92]

anyone know the specs that our trucks would take?

[Already Gone]

I was just on Cragars site and see they now produce the SS's in 17 inch. Now there would be an old/school with modern look setup on old pinky.

A 3 1/2 front with 5 inch rear drop rolling on 17x8 inch SS's with 29.2 inch tall 255/60R17 front and rear tires or the 255/60R17's out back and 235/65R17 (which are 29.2 inches as well) in front.

[drewdude92]

yeah i think the 17's are quite a bit more. so im still just interested in the specs on some fifteens

So havent posted on here in about 10 yrs. The resto I did in 2002 has been driven occasionally but mostly sitting for the past 6 years. I am looking to take my MT sportmans off the back of the truck and run a normal tire. I currently run Cragar S/S front 15x8, rear 15x12 and neither fit. I dont recall the back spacing on the front but I had to put in 9/16" wheel spaces to get them to fit over the caliper and clear the rotor. For the rear I had to machine down part of the fins on the rear drum to get the rears to fit. I want to move the front wheels to the back and get 15's that will properly fit on the front. What kind of back spacing is typical with these wheels? I cant seem to find it.
Pictures below.

Any more questions, just ask.

Stock 2 pc ds? I have a 72 i dropped with a cpp spring kit, i think its 2.5/4" and i wanted to go lower but i am running a 1 pc ds and it looks like i will have interference trouble with the ds and center crossmember if i do. I have a set of 2.5" drop spindles and 2" blocks. I hate to try and get the stock crossmember out of a 90% finished (painted) truck.

All my trucks use 1 piece driveshafts. They can get close to the crossmember but I haven't ever had one rub.

I"ve come to the conclusion that as much as I would love 17's on my truck they are cost prohibitive for me so I am going to do a 3 1/2 front and 5' rear drop and go with 15's and the SS's may be the way to go. Anyone want to give me their opinion as to what you think they may look like on ole Pinky?

Your truck looks great at the current ride height. I wouldn't drop it. I think it would look good with Crragars and even better with stock steelies and hubcaps.
