dont they make cragars for the s197 off set?

We are not jumping down yourthroat and we are not trying to tell you how to mod your car. We are merely offering advise, albeit possibly in a negative light. With that said, going from 45mm to 0mm is almost a 2" difference. There have been numerous posters me having wheels with just a 24mm offset and a wider tire and how much they stick out from the fender lip. Granted you are not putting a 275 or 285 wide tire on a 8" wide rim but the 45mm change will definately put you beyond the lip of the fender.

But, hey if you tried it and it looks good to you, I hope it works out and if you choose to post pics to prove us wrong, yay for us.

Look forward to seeing it done.

More power to you for being different!

That offset is not a safe application for your s-197.Putting pressure on one side or the other of the wheel bearings could lead to premature failure of the bearing.That said you have four wheel bearings and causing a bearing to rupture or collaspe.Its your safety I'm concerned about.

that's gonna look like poop and be unsafe as hell.[&:]

They do, but they don't look anything like the old school Cragers. The spokes just aren't right. Too flat, I think.

And they're just alluminum. :-\

DarkFire, dahl had a V6 with those new Cragars ^ the day you were going there and we passed each other. [8D]
