cragar 16" wheel question

[cutty88]

i am thinking about buying a set of cragar 16x8 inch wheels. i want to put the opg 2" drop springs in the front and 1" in the back but i just want to make sure these wheels will fit right before i order. I think i need 4.5bs. Is that for all four wheels? My car will have a regal front clip on it if that makes any difference.

I am sorry I don't have an answer for you but I read your signature and got a kick out of it. I am doing the opposite, putting a cutlass clip on my regal, that is if I can get the car cheap enough.

they sure will fit the tire specs makes the difference not the wheel

I have 17" wheels on my cutlass dropped 2" overhaul tire diameter is at 26.5"

i wanted to make sure i had the backspacing right also

4.5" back spacing is exacly what you need (wheel will clear by 1" at the frame on the back wheels)

maybe a little interference betwwen front tire and inner fender when wheels turned and climbing a step ( driveway entrance)

4" would work better. i have 15x8s with 4.5" backspacing on my cutlass, with a 255/60 tire it rubs a bit on corners. my 15x8 ralleys with 4" backspacing and the same tire worked perfect on my malibu wagon.

well the more i look the more im leaning towards maybe going with 15's with 275/50s
