Correct wheel size and dimensions to fit 295/50/15
Hey y’all question here currently i have a set of cragar ss’s front and rear on the car. I love the style and look of these wheels as i have since i was a kid. The question i have is right now on the rear i have cragar deep dish wheels that are 15x10 that stick out about an inch to two inches past the fender. I’m wanting to see if anyone has any knowledge on these wheels themselves to see if they make a different size wheel in terms of the backspacing and such to fit the beefy 295 50 15s I currently have on here now so they sit as flush to the fender as they can. If not, I will just keep these as they are, as these are the wheels that will remain on my car. Appreciate the info in advance!

Looks like the 15x10 only comes in one offset, you would need to do some measuring to see if the other sizes would fit better.

These and Centerlines were the most popular after market rims to put on these cars when they were new. That's like saying ******s (certain hair style) and parachute pants were out of place on us, eh, I means THOSE people in the 80's...

Yeah, those wheels were popular in the '60s & '70s. I never saw any on thirdgens when they were new.
Putting them on an '80s car (which also had no chrome anywhere else on the car) just looks silly. Only thing missing is air shocks, slapper bars with lights on them, and a CB antenna...

[QUOTE=3rdgenzroc;6456485]I disagree, there was a guy who had a Bronze metallic colored Iroc I would pass parked in front of his house every day to work/college when I live in Peoria. He had the rims all the same (not jacked in the back, or wider on the rear like popular in the 60's 70's) but like the stock look. I loved it. So much, when I bought my 92 RS (Quazar Blue), I immediately bought a set for it. I got compliments about how the cragers were "still" current and looked great on it about once a day. Also, when still in high school, a guy had a Brown with Tan striped SC that had them on it. Looked as right on it, as my buddies 72 nova SS that had them. I can remember pretty much anyone who had a regular Z, or SC, would put cragers or centerlines on them instead of the cheaper stock wheels if they could afford to. Must of just been a Midwest thing, lol.[/QUOTE
I love them on my 86 sc. i get complimented on them all the time. They look best on the sc’s because of their more aggressive stance

You'll need a 6.5 BS with a 15x10 or something like a 5-5.5 with a 15x8 in order for it not to look like Joe Dirt
That tire is short

Well it can be a smaller size depth like a 15x7 or 15x8. Just wanting to keep the tires i have and just get new rear wheels if possible. Been trying to do some digging just not to familiar with back spacing and such and want to make sure i get the right **** the first time lol.
