Cragar SS Wheels - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I bought 2 15x12 and 2 15x8 Cragar SS wheels for my 72 1/2ton PU. I have spent almost the cost of them in trying to get them to work when i was told they would fit my application. If everything is stock on my truck which i believe it is in order to make the rear rims fit i had to have the rear drums machined down to fit inside the rim while the front requires a dangerous almost 3/4's of an inch spacer to fit properly. If you are looking to buy cragar ss rims for your truck i do not reccomend anything under 16''.

Thanx. I love the old Cragers or any 5-spoke. Maybe you can buy a '69 Nova to put them on.
