KH yes, later calipers not sure. I have a set, chrome is pretty good too.

Check locally for 14x7 chrome reverse sbp. I see them pop up regularly, rusty, crusty, blast and paint.

In 1967 only the Mag-type wheel cover was "std. on Fastback." This same wheel cover was called the Deluxe Wheel Cover for 1968/69, and not to be confused with the dealer installed Custom "Mag." So the only factory installed option for a 1967 fastback was the Bolt-on Wheel Cover. I have a 1967...

My understanding is Cragar never made sbp spinner caps. I've never seen them, until now. First pic has, left to right, 14" and 15" bbp S/S cap, 14" and 15" bbp G/S spinner, 13" 4 lug S/S cap, 14" sbp cap. Second pic shows sbp caps and spinners.

LH as it left the factory. I pulled the 13" wheel off again to get the drum off so it rolls freely, and it was much better. After a wire wheel, and working them back and forth with the wheel off, it seems fine now. The other 3 came off no problem whatsoever.

Not sure what did it exactly, but sprayed some liquid wrench a few days ago, worked them back and forth a bit yesterday, hit them with the impact today, took a bit but spun them off. I think it helped that it was warm today, but who knows. That rear tire is the only one that was flat, the...

Um, I didn't even attempt to turn the engine, let alone the starter.

Ugh, it's crappy rain and cold. I wasn't planning on replacing studs and nuts and all, but stuff happens. My soldering gun gets darn hot, but the map gas is more better hot. Nice that the centers bolt on the back, except when it's not. I sprayed soapy water on that tire, it doesn't leak at...

No I haven't, just wanted to get the flat off to roll it off the trailer. Based on prior experience, both could be LH, or one, or none. I'm betting both. I'm not a big fan of these wheels, but I dig them on this car. I don't dig chrome lug nuts, but they'd look stupid without them.

I don't see an L but they are filthy. I'll check tomorrow.

Dealing with driver's side, but as stated above I tried the lugs both ways. I believe this car hasn't been messed with too much, so it should have righty-loosy. Most recent experience with chrome nuts were new cheapo Cragar chrome garbage that destroy themselves and the stud if you look at...

So, I bought a Valiant with SBP Rallye Wheels on all 4 corners. Car sat a long time and I went to pull the only wheel with a flat off it today and it will not budge. Jack handle on breaker bar, impact gun, a few appear to move a tiny amount. I tried working the lugs back and forth, no luck...

67 Barracuda, for what it's worth. Rear with 255/60-15. Front are 15x6, backspace 3.75, offset +6 mm with 215/65-15. Judging by the clearances, uca, front and rear lower fender sections, I would guess a bigger diameter wheel would fit, but the offset would have to be larger and the height of...

The center hole size should have been the giveaway, I haven't had the dog dishes off my car in ages. Lesson learned, smaller hole = better.

No idea who the maker is, but nice wheels. Guess it's off to marketplace, then the scrapper, heavy wheels.

I bought these as sbp, tape measure shows 5x4, caliper/micrometer shows the same (no pic), so why do they not seem to fit? Lug nuts do not appear to fully seat, same nuts used with my steel original sbp wheels, and the center hole is too big. I was going to list for sale, I had my rear wheel...

Fyi, my sbp 14×6 Cragars are 13.25" and 13". They fit over KH disc. I'm taking these measurements from wheels off the cars and a laser tool.

Old school 15x6 Cragars are 14.5" id on the back edge, and step in to 14" id where the caliper would be. There's that change in diameter towards the center.

Yes, McGard washers fit and are the same size as the marks left by the original washers. They are long enough to engage the minimum amount of threads, plus some, which iirc in the instructions was the width of the stud.

McGard (left) vs Cragar (right). McGard threads look crisper, as does the outside. I wish the McGard had a taller lug part for a socket, but it doesn't seam to matter. Cragar nut is a bit longer with the tapered end, and the lug part is taller. Cragar has imperfections all around top edge. The...

On another note, not all shops have 'touchless' tire mounting machines. That matters big time with old school wheels. I know from experience with Cragars, the top of the center can crack off, leaving half of the center cap mounting edge.

225 v 215 For my purposes, I don't think a gain in height of .5 is needed just to get .4 in width. I like the look of wider, but I'm limited with 6" wheels and front fender clearance.

235/70 seems big. The 215s in my 7" cop wheels look big. 235 v 215

I'm going 215/70. Found a post on fbbo, guy put 225s on a 7" wheel with 4.25 bs on a 62 Dodge and the tire is close to the leading fender edge. My wheels are 6" with a 3.75 bs. The cop wheels fit with 215s, and I'm sure those are 7". A real rough estimate, measuring from the front of the cop...

Yeah, my Indy 500s are brand new, still have the nubs on them, but decades old and the treads are full of cracks. I checked tire rack, helpful, but I was surprised that with tax, free shipping, and the best local shop to install that had a reasonable price, I'm looking at about a $24 savings. I...

Tire Size Calculator

So I'm going to get tires, hopefully tomorrow, on four 15x6 old school Cragars. $40 off coupon expires soon! Trying to figure the best size to get, and whether or not to get small and big, front and rear. Leaning towards same size all around. 62 Dart, terrible pic below. It came with...

When I receive the McGards, if they're better than the Cragars, I'll see if any more are available, and if so, return the Cragars.

So, Jegs included the washer specs that come with the lug nuts, so I ended up buying all the McGard lug nuts/washers available, plus 2 packs of 10 McGard washers that are the same size and will fit the Cragar lug nuts I just bought that came with the giant 1.25 washers. I think I'll end up with...

Lug nuts are perfect. Washers not so much. Too big, but we knew that. The washers are concave, so I guess I would have to shave extra off one side as they will spread out as they're torqued. I would order some of the McGard, but the lugs are a bit shorter, will try to find just washers. Were...
