Cragar SS Skinnies

[Sportyworty]

Looking to buy a pair of 16" I know they are rare but will consider 15x4.5 as well. These will need to be unilug unless someone just happens to have a set 5x4.5 Ford/Mopar. Would also consider a set of 16x6 or 16x7. Chrome must be driver grade or better. I want to day 2 my 68 CJ and have a nice set of 16x8 rear Cragars.

thanks

Cragar never made 16 x 4, 6, 7 or or 8" SS back in the day except they did make a drag 16 x 10 for the 16" drag slicks that were available back then. i.e. Hot Wheels Duster and Cuda F/C's.. I have never heard of a Cragar 16 x8 that was made back in the day and they are not in the Cragar catalogs I have unless someone had a set made up special.

How are you measuring the wheel you have?

The 16" SS that is available now has only been out for 3-5 years and it is not considered a Day 2 wheel in the strict sense...more of a loose retro look.

Yea, Why 16" wheels? Back then the funny cars, fuelers and maybe the gassers ran 16". Correct me if I am wrong guys. Trying to think if I "ever" saw a 16X4 Cragar SS but ya never know.

You will be looking a long time....might find Noah's Ark first.

I think the Hot Wheels cars used 15 x4 or 15 x6 up front and I have never seen 16&quot; front runner tires except drag slicks.

well I would never be looking for 16's anyway Dave. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img]

The rim width on these 16&quot; rears is 8&quot; the outside to outside on the lip is 9&quot;. They have 28x11.5x16 tires. Maybe they were custom made.

I could use a 15x4.5 with the a taller front tire to keep a decent stance.

The input is appreciated
