crager ss mags are the way to go. I love the look on my car. 215 65 on 15x7's up front with 245 65 on 15x8's in the rear.\
I'm new haven't figure out the pic posting yet, but have pics in my garage on the forum.

It depends on the setup. I'm looking at a custom setup of 16x8s with 4.25 backspacing which wouldn't need spacers.

15s have one of the worst possible tire selections ever. I will never buy 15s again.

I like the crager's classic look. my 15's fit fine with the BF Goodrich TA's even with the disks up front. Have had no issues.

Me too, but terrible tire selection. 16s and up give me the best selection.


That is why I am probably going to go with a set of these.

I still vote for the Bullitts that you were going to get.

I too prefer the 15 inch wheels for our classics. I think some of the 16 inch wheels look good. Anything bigger just doesn't look right to me.

These are the ones I am getting. I talked it over with my dad about them and we both agree these look the best.

+1 on that. the other style looks like something you would pull of a VW Scirocco ... don't get them!
