The 15x7s will fit the front. I don't remember if the old style cragers needed a spacer for disc brakes or not.The new style do not. The Fentons that I had needed a spacer to clear. Schonye

Schonye do you have any vintage pics of the Fentons installed on the Deuce back then? Hey BTW did you have that long hair back then to?

Frank, I think I have 1 somewhere. I'll try to find it. And yes my hair was long back then too, and I had the goatee. Schonye

Wow that is a lot more than I had to pay for these. They sure do look good though. I can see that I will have to find some like yours somewhere and use mine on the back.

That price you got for yours sure makes me feel good since I only paid $10 each for these wheels. Talked the guy down from $15 each. He thought they were 14" not 15" and I didn't bother to tell him.



What can I say I love Flea markets.

The 15x4 Cragars are still available new.

I personally think 15x7's are way to big on the front end of a Nova but thats IMHO.

I agree, 7's are the limit up front as far as the vintage look is concerned--IMHO. If you look at the Hassett '68 Motion Camaro, he says his Cragars are 15x7's on the front with E70s and 15x8s on the back with G70s. I've stared at those photos of the Hassett car in the June Musclecar Enthusiast and I think that Cragar S/S's and redlines look oh-so-good.
