Cragar S/S Wheels?
I'm going to look at a set of Cragar S/S 14" uni-lug wheels for my 1965 Dynamic 88 and was wondering if these will fit my car

Thanks

The uni-lug wheels were designed to fit many different cars. What's the width and offset of the wheels?

I'm not sure of the width or offset. I'm going this afternoon to take a look at them but I have attached a photo

You may want to look for 15 inch wheels as tire selection will be better. The size needed for your 65 would be a 225-75 -14 which are no longer produced. The 215 are a little small but will work.

And for what it's worth, those are current production style Cragar SS wheels NOT the same as the original style. There are some minor differences between the two types.

Yes but they are priced about 4x what they should be and have a 3 inch whitewall? Not quite the mid 60's look....

Some unilug wheels only fit the 4.5" and 4.75" bolt circles. Verify that the ones you're looking at will fit a 5" bolt circle.
