CRAGAR WHEELS

[4th Gen Camaro Addict]

Guys.....................they may be the correct bolt pattern to fit a Camaro.......................however, if your Camaro has been lowered (as GMMG cars were), your tire may be rubbing the inner wheel well since more of your wheel/tire combination will be moved closer to the inner side of the wheel well. :confusion-scratchheadblue:

The beauty of wheels is that as long as you get the same bolt pattern, you can just bolt 'em on and go, right? Actually no, that's only a part of the equation. The other part is backspacing and offset, and if they're wrong, chances are you won't be rollin'.



From the factory, your vehicle was fitted with wheels carefully designed by engineers to allow for adequate clearance between the wheel and tire and items like tie-rod ends, brake calipers, fenderwells, the frame, and other exposed components. If you try to fit a different wheel-and-tire combination, you may find that contact may occur between these items and the wheel and/or tire during standard steering maneuvers or suspension articulation. The way to avoid this is to make sure you have wheels with the proper offset and backspacing for the tire you'd like to run on your vehicle.



We know the offset of .36 mm works. Your offset of .45 millmeters "will probably" also work however, just keep in mind that your wheel/tire combination will be "tucked in" more than mine at .36mm because it is more of a postive offset than my wheels at .36 mm.

The combo that I posted above will work as long as you go with the stock tire size 275/40/17 if you try to go with the 315/35/17 on the rear you will need some mods if the car is lowered as our cars are. I have done my home work. But still it is always wise to check with a pro before purchasing. Any good tire shop can measure to make sure that you have the right wheel tire combo.

Cool.......................they are certainly a good looking wheel and I hope the offset works great for you. Be sure to post up some pictures of them on the car after you get them mounted up so that we can all enjoy them with you too.

Just for info sake the OEM Camaro SS 17" x 9" 10 spokes and 5 spokes had a 56 mm offset.

Does anyone have an idea of how the Cragar center cap worked on the Rev wheel? We purchased a 69 Camaro that has a set of these wheels but it has the Rev center cap. We tried ordering a Cragar center cap from Summit Racing but it doesn't fit. Any ideas?



Thanks.

I'm guessing JD will have the answer. He worked with Matt Murphy on the wheels. Jim
