Default okay so cragar rim questions

yeah i know there are threads on it, but i kind of want to compile all questions into one and im still learning soooo...

i know stock rims have 5.25" of backspacing, bolt pattern is 5x4.5, they are 7" wide.

so i want to get some cragars, probably soft 8s..yeah i know, everyones got em, but i need to widen the stance of my rig and ive also got the V5s in mind. ive thought of the d-windows but dont want the ugly wheel weights messing up the stripes.

either way, so i need to know, will i need new lugs with the cragars? do the center caps come with the rims?

thanks

usually no center caps. Go 15x8 in a 4" backspacing. You will be fine

Center caps are an add-on option with Cragar rims...I think I remember they run about $19 EACH.
Be sure to check the rims for out-of-roundness...it happens.

HTH!

Go getto and use "I can't believe its not butter" tubs for your centercaps.

(I've seen it done!!!)
