15" Cragars

[Tori]

Found a used set of very nice 15" Cragars on CL

Rears are 15x8 with 4.25" BS - I know these will fit just fine.

Fronts are 15x7 with 4" BS - Without test fitting to my car, i'm not sure they will fit and clear the upper balljoint/control arm. I'm concerned i'll loose too much width to the inside of the wheel well and make a narrow track (looking for wide stance)

Can anyone confirm if they will, or tell me what you're running

The car is my '71 Satty/Clone

They will fit.

Bought the wheels, and as recommended, they clear. Here is how a front 15x8 clears.

Fronts need to be checked with the suspension loaded.

Loaded at the wheel not the lower control arm. Even good ball joints will have some change of geometry. Always check suspension parts properly loaded when checking clearances for wheels, sway bars and the like.
