Cragar wheels

http://store.summitracing.com/largei...rt=CRR-3977712

I am considering buying a set of these ^ wheels for my fc.

They are 16" in diameter, 7" wide with a 4" backspace. The bolt pattern is 5x 4.5" and I need to know what kind of spacer I will be required to have to run these safely.

Thank you and I would appreciate any negative comments to be kept to yourself for teh duration of this threads short life. My FC is currently grey primer but will be black when im ready for that stage of planning.

hrm...how heavy are those. They have a 16x8 fitment on the crager.com website. 16x8 is perfect for a 245/45/16 R comp tire...

Weight isnt an issue, the car is going to stay NA, and teh weight down low would be nice. I would be buying 4 of teh same size wheel, so unless teh 16x8 would fit perfect up front with an inch drop in the future(i realize that the tire will make up for that) would rubbing be an issue up front?

4 inches of backspacing on a 7 inch wheel is zero offset. Stock TII wheels are 16x7 with 40mm offset. So you would need 40mm spacers to make those wheels work.

1st off, that is a truck wheel. What exactly do you mean by "Weight isnt an issue, the car is going to stay NA, and teh weight down low would be nice."? Extra weights doesnt help anything. Also, if the wheels do have a 0mm offset, that means they are pushed an extra 40mm further out than stock, not 40mm inward. The lower the number, the further the wheel lip goes out.
