I have 275/60x15 on 15x8 all the way around on mine. Too me it's a great combo and I can rotate tires and have one spare the correct size.

When it comes to cragar, there is only one "S/S"

I saw a BEAUTIFUL 68ish Chevelle (med blue) last friday with billet retro Cragar SS wheels, I'm pretty sure they were 8" and 10" and they looked SUPER NICE!!! I definitely would consider them for our trucks, however 8" would be just as nice IMO and like Palf70 mentioned would be more practical, could you please post pics when you get them on. Regards Doug

Palf70Step, Do you have pic's of what yours looks like with that wheel set up? I'm considering it as well. Thanks...Kelly

First one is is what she looked like with 15x8 Ralleys and the 275/60 on all 4

The second...not as good since most of body is missing, is with the currect 15x8 wagon spkokes and 275/60 onall 4

Edit---Oooops reverse that order
