Can Anyone Tell me about Cragar SS's on front of a 74

Putting SS's on the front of the 74. Can anyone tell me what you are running/using that works for you. I am trying to put 15X7 on the front wheels they brought have 2 to 2 1/2 back space. can't see them working. They stick out way too far . This prolly ain't enough info but I'm beat and will try to answer any ?s fore I conk out . Steve's guys save me.:beer:

Thanks , I tried to registar on that site so I could ask some ?s but had no luck. They say they are sending me a pass word but it never happens. OH WELL.

Am pretty sure for a 7" wheel you will need between 4-4 1/2" backspacing (on my 14" ralley's I have 4 1/4 and on my stock drum setup it would rub, with my new stock disk setup it clears good)

Later

I've run 235/60/14's on a 14x7 rim with 3.5" of backspacing
and
I've run 215/65/15 on a 15x7" rim with 4" of backspacing.

Neither had any problems with rubbing over bumps, dips, sharp turns, etc...and they don't look like they stick out too far...the 14x7's had the pefect offset, IMO....

This is on a '72 with 4-wheel drum brakes.

I have a 15x7 with 4 in backspace and am running 225-70-15 no problems at all.

Thanks guys , I had to send the others back. I think the guy has what your talking about and is sending them today. I knew you all would take care of a kindly old guy like me.;) :beer:
