Default NEW STYLE CRAGAR SS WHEELS

Ne one have pics of their car with the NEW style cragar ss wheels, not the old version. They offer them in 17s, 18s, and 20s. Please respond with ne info, the new ones are much more modern and bigger than the old ones,

I guess they are too new for people to have them yet.

Do you have links to any single pictures of just the wheel???

There is another Cragar rim thats pretty similar to these. I'm pretty sure they havent been out for a year, there are also a lot of copies of this type of rim out there.

I am not very fond of these wheels. I they don't look bad but they look better on older model cars(ex. 1rst gen camaros and chevelles and stuff)

Personally I like em a lot. Very nostalgic. Think of those in 17x11's in the rear with some big ol DR's on them <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

The SS looks pretty good. It should look good on a camaro.

If you guys are taling about these rims then I think those have been around for a while because theres a mustang that goes to the same gym as I do that has rims that look similar to those. He's had them since last year . <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Unfortunately, Cragar do not list a 5x4.75 bolt pattern in the 17x9.5 wheels. Does the 17x9, 5x4.75 with a 4.5 offset fit? Can you put a 275x40x17 on a 17X9 rim or is the rim too narrow?Thanks.

17" x 9" wheel should have a 50mm offset and 7" backspacing.

275/40ZR17 tire will fit just fine. That is stock size wheel and tire for and SS and WS-6.

Cragar does make the wheel. I got a price of $280 from Americas Tire Company. The only promblem is it takes 4-6 weeks to get them due to the fact that they make them per indivdual car. They also weigh in at 24.9 lbs in a 17x9.5.

When I bought my TT2's a couple of months ago (Which look very similiar to the Crager SS) Crager did not make this wheel in a 17x11. I like the styling and would have got the Cragers first. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

the backspacing on the series 61 Cragar SS wheels is not sufficient from what I understand. You would need to order a custom backspacing. The 4x120mm 17x11's I have seen come with a max backspacing of 5.5"
