Cragar Wheels
Im thinking of getting this:
fronts are 5.5x13 rear is 7.5x13
Looks like they will rub like a b*tch, but im going with coil overs, so it should be fine, but again i wouldnt be able go to low.
And im kinda scared about the rear once, i didnt try them on yet, but the rear wheel base should not be as wide as front,
Correct?

Re: Cragar Wheels (misha)
alright...i'll give this more try 
....
if you painted the face and polished the lips, it might look decent but then the 13" diameter looks a lil too small and the width is way too wide..yer gonna have to stretch 50 series tires(which may be hard to find) on there just for the wheel to look decent/flush w/yer fenders.
also, if i am not mistaken, i think those wheels may require shank style (washer type) lug nuts. make sure you use those if needed.

Re: Cragar Wheels (mrrlx)
i think u r right about the lug nuts, i dont know where to get thouse.
And if ill get the wheels i will have to get 50 or 60 series tires, for sure, when lower the car
Painting and polishing was im my head as well
were can i get thouse lug nuts?
Or should i just put longer lugs?

Re: Cragar Wheels (misha)
no..no need to get longer studs.
i bought some shank/washer style lug nuts from pep boys a while back but make sure you use the right amount of washers and if you are really not sure about it or what to buy then i would contact a wheel/tire expert like at discount tire that may have moe info on the lug nuts/washers.

Re: Cragar Wheels (misha)
they are also known as mag style lug nuts. the shank/mag style lugs sink into the lug hole and then the washer stops the nut on top of the wheel center/hub.
let me post up a pic:
