I've got a line on 4 Cragar S/S rims - 2 rear are 15x8 with 4&quot; backspacing and 2 fronts are 15x7 with 4&quot; backspace. They were originally put on a new 1965 chevelle when originally purchased.

Can anyone confirm how that size wheel would fit the rear quarters of my 1969 Chevelle? I don't want to have to do any trimming of the wheel lips, etc.

Also, any suggestions on tire size?

I think those wheels work on a 69 Chevelle.

I don't buy the story of those wheels being on a 65 as that is an extremly tight fit. Clearly the wheels are at least 20 years newer than a 65 too.

What kind of tires do you like?

They look more like the flat style spokes to me. Maybe put on the 65 chevelle when it got restored? But from birth.....Maybe not.

They might work but will be sticking out a little too far.

I have Corvette rally wheels on the back of my Chevelle and they are 4.25&quot; b/s.

The best b/s for a Chevelle with a 8&quot; wheel is 4.5&quot;.

Those are 'new' Cragars. Uni-lug, chrome in recessed area way nice than gennies, center cap is different [as well as spokes flatter] Purists care, others don't. Since they are new, why not just buy new ones with a better backspage from Jegs?

I put the Cragars on the TA Challenger. 15x7 all around with 235/60/15 front and 255/60/15 rear.

Thanks for the advice guys. If they are not the original vintage cragar, I'm going to pass on them and keep looking... For a vintage 15x8 mag with 4.5&quot; b/s.
Thanks!
