Trying to figure out which Cragars to buy for my 1970 442 Convertible. Some people have said 15x8 4.5 offset, but these Cragars only come in 4 or 4.25. Will the 4.25's fit?
Also If going with Mickey Thompson tires what will fit front/rear?

Thanks!

I used a Jegs sport Torque Wheel 15" x 8" w/ 4.50 BS and a Micky Thompson P275/60R15 in the back....could of gone with the next size wider tire and would still tuck inside of the wheel well IMO.
Used a 15" x 7" front w/ 3.75 BS w/ a P235/60R15 in the front. Has plenty of room no rubbing issues.

I don't think you would have an issue with those wheels in the rear as the fender wells are so large you can fit 295-50s with ease assuming a 15x10 wheel with 5" BS.

For the front, 245-60-15 is largest I was able to use without rubbing. I once had 255-60-15 and those rubbed on turns, so I brought them back and swapped to 245-60-15. Prolly depends a lot upon the springs and suspension (ride height, compression distance, etc).

So my overall favorite for the past 40 years has been 245-60s all around as they fit in front with no issues and can be rotated.

Yeah that offset should be fine.
As fun71 said you can put huge tires on back , lots of room!
I stick with the 225/70/14 which is about 26.3 all around
kind of like the factory type stuff
