Cragar Wheels for Olds

Does anybody know what backspacing and offset measurements are required when fitting these wheels to a '65 Delta88 ?

The arches are standard and the car will be dropped by 2 inches.

The wheels i'm looking at are 15" with 7's on the front and 8's on the back.

As these will need to be imported from America, i need to make sure i know the exact measurements as returning them could be quite costly

I don't know anyone in UK that has these wheels in 5x5 PCD so can't do a test run.

Any ideas?

dan76, i purchased mine from jeggs.com. they were able to look my model and year up and get me the exact size. mine is a 65 olds dynamic 88. i went with the 15 in rims in the keystone classics which is made by crager. i think mine was a 5 1/2 back spacewith 5 inch bolt patteren, but dont hold me to that. i would try going to jeggs.com and if nothing else tell them that you are looking at their crager rims and want to know what size they show. chris

Cragars are AWSOME wheels. I know you can order them from Summit as well. At least shop around and get the best price. I think both Summit, and Jegs do price matching.
