Wheel Delima

I just bought a vintage set of Cragar S/S Wheels with the spinners. The wheels are in pretty good shape. Probably an 8 on a ten scale.. The lug pattern seems to be 4.75 but they fit real tight (almost like a different spacing) but they do bolt up. They have a 4.5 back spacing, and they are 8.5 X 15.
I thought I would be able to put my stock size tires on them, but they would look really funny. If I put wider tires on the fronts they rub. I like the back sitting kind of up just a touch. But I don't have the money to buy new tires, and I am wanting a staggared setup. I would like some opinions on this.
I am also looking to trade for some weld dragstars with tires if possible. I know the Cragars are worth some good $$$, so if anyone has any ideas, or wants to do some trading, just pm me.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!
