Yes! So I guess they have always been 15" x 4.5"

Cragar only made the SS front runners in 15x4" wide up until a few years ago. They never made it in 3 or 3.5 or 4.5. You measure from the inside of the rim...bead to bead, not the outside of the rim. Todays Cragar is 4.5 wide and they did it because of safety issues. Too many guys were rolling the tires off the 4" rims on the street.
Steve; The 15x4.5 you noted on the rims means it for the 4.5 Chrysler/Ford bolt pattern |

You might be right!
I checked the back of the rims and it says "4-1/2" by one of the lug holes. I measured as best as I could with the rubber still on the wheels and it is less than 4-1/2 wide from the mounting bead on one side to the other. Here's a photo of my Charger from a few decades ago with the big-n-littles on it-NJSteve |
