Challenger / Cragar Wheel Question
« on: April 14, 2009 - 04:25:48 PM »
I just got a New set of Cragar S/S wheels and Tires for my 73 challenger. I need to know what I need to get them put on. I may have goofed by ordering the wrong washers. I got a set of round offset ones. Have not had a chance to try them yet. Any info would be great. I want to mount these ASAP. THANKS!!  ;D

Are the Cragars uni-lug? The offset washers are for the uni-lug wheels. They will work, Just not look great.

Do you have the correect lug nuts?  I'm not sure which ones you need but they may be the ones that extend through the washers, not the acorn style, but again, I'm not sure as I do not have those style wheels.  Just a thought....

They look a tad long. For the old SS wheels right?

I would imagine any local auto parts store would have them, no? :clueless:
