Default I have decided to get Cragar Wheels, got a question...

Well I am going with the Cragar wheels or Cragar SS wheels I think they are called, anyways I have 14" rims right now, and I want to get the Cragar's in 14"s as well, that way I can keep the tires I have right now.

But how do I know how wide the wheel is or the backspacing, there are a lot of diff combos, so I how do I know which ones to order exactly? thanks.

Measure the rim width, and see if you don't come out with 7 inches. At any rate, the 7 inch rims will fit nicely. To measure the back spacing, get a board and lay across the inside of the rim. Just the rim, and not the tire. Now, measure from the bottom center of the wheel to the bottom of that board. You will probably measure something like 4 1/2 inches. Maybe even 4 and 3/4 inches. If you are a visual guy like me, you may get a better idea with this.
