Tire sizes, AGAIN?

Obviously a 8" rim will fit. For an early A, the bs will have to be perfect! Yours must be. Cragar SS are famous for a "deep dish" look. It's a very attractive look, but often results in too little backspace. Without knowing what bs his rims have , I'm not willing to say they'll fit, and my experience tells me they probably wont.
Exactly. They won't fit on a 67 on up either. I have 7's with a 4.5' backspace and I can't pass my fingers between the tire and the outer wheel lip.
