Ahhh..Cragar (sp?) SS...classics!

I would run the 17's if you can afford it. I can't help you on your question, but the wheels are cool.

I run 17x8 American Racing Torq Thrust II's, front and rear with 4" of BS, just like stock. For tires I'm running Nitto Extreme NT-450's, 255/50's.

As you can tell, I love the look of the classic 5 spoke wheels. The Cragar SS's are a classic for sure.
