Default CRAGAR WHEELS ?

I'm looking at buying 15 inch Cragar SS wheels but it seems like they only have the unifit ones that fit multiple hub bolt sizes. Is this correct and is anyone running these wheels.

Cragars, old school wheels, now that takes me back. I remember back in the 80's, Cragars were the wheels to run! You might want to check out thetires and wheels section/forum, linkable from the top of the classic section, they have all the info there if you don't find anything here. It's sponsered by tirerack.com. My 2 cents.

I have the cragar wheel with uni-bolt pattern and they work nicely. They have washers to align and deep lugs nuts. I think they look and work great!!

I have a set of 15" ss's for 4 years on my '69 w no tire probs at all after 2 sets of rubber. The rear tire is 8" so the deep rim takes focus.

I extended HD leaf springs 1" to accommodate the higher profile rear tires better. I also use Konis to keep it stiff and traction bars which are great for wheel hop. The bolt pattern fits fine.
