Re: check out these cheap new wheel/tire

They don't make the old Indy profiles any more but I can tell you about the wheels.
IF they are all aluminum then they are the Crager Super Tricks but it looks to me like the are the old Crager SST wheels. Basicly cast aluminum on the inside bolted to a steel outer rim.

I don't think anyone makes 14" tires that wide anymore. You can't even get 295/15s

Re: check out these cheap new wheel/tire

These wheels shouldn't be any wider than 10".I had a set of M60's (wider than Ls)on the rear of my '67 Impala that had '72 Chevelle rally wheels.Of course this was with the air shocks just about maxed out. You should be able to get some genuine 'back in the day' L60s from one of the nostalgia tire dealers (Coker, Diamond,RedStripe,etc.).These folks advertise heavily in Hemmings, but continue your online search because all these guys have a website.It would be interesting to see if your Mickeys had a date of manufacture code on them-If those tires could talk!!

Re: check out these cheap new wheel/tire

Ok, so is it just me or are those lug holes oblong... Oval kinda. Is that normal, I mean they all look uniform but couldent that allow for the wheel to be installed off-center?

Re: check out these cheap new wheel/tire

SSTs are a unilug design. That way they fit Ford, Gm and Mopar. Your supposed to run special washers that lock them in

Re: check out these cheap new wheel/tire

Good eye, Daniel San!!These 'inserts' or washers are very important.Do not drive the car without them.I had a set of white wagon wheels (with the same oval holes)mounted on a '70 Olds Vista Cruiser I had.The guy that mounted them mentioned that they seemed kind of odd, but centered them by eye and gave 'em hell with the impact gun.Two days later I was pulling in the bar parking lot to get a six-pack when--THHHUNKKK!!! Looked at the passengers' side rear and ALL FIVE STUDS snapped off!!You guessed it;nobody mentioned the fact that I needed the inserts and washers to mount these wheels correctly.Imagine if I was doing a power slide, or maybe going down the Interstate during rush hour.DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME. Now you get to do another search to see if you can find these things-good luck,bro!
