RANT, wheel dimensions are top secret

I do not understand why wheel manufactures dont publish the exact dimensions of their wheels or at least enough so the buyer know if they will fit or not. I bought some 15x4 vette rallies and of course they hit the caliper. I want to buy some cragar ss but there tech help is absolutely helpless, its simple, send me a print. There are some other vintage style wheels I would like but not going to chance it again. Speaking of prints, although their product works awesome, Vortech blowers would not send me any prints either, I had to buy there product before I could figure out what needed modified for fitment.


Thank you

Can't help you on the Vortech, but on Cragar wheel fitment, you might want to call or email Stockton Wheel (www.stocktonwheel.com). They have answered several wheel questions from me very quickly, and I've never bought from them.

I agree. And lets come up with the definition of backspace. Do you drop the level into the bead, or across the outer bead. 1/2 inch is huge in these little wheel wells.

What cragar sizes do you need? I have 15x3.5, 15x4 and the currently available 15x4.5. I also have 15x7s. I'd be glad to measure.

Backspace to the outer lip...wheel width to the inner bead...pretty standard.

Thanks for the wheel measurement offer Sh1fter, I know you guys would offer to measure some wheels for me, thats why I like this site so much. Im going to wait on my paint job before getting more wheels, Im thinking mags now but who knows. If I end up needing the measurements Ill sure ask ya for them again. And your right about the offset, some manufactures do it different.

Thanks

Backspace to the outer lip...wheel width to the inner bead...pretty standard.This is the correct way to measure wheels....no other way!bm
