Cragar Quarstions
lol just had a question. Two actually.
1 how do these edits look (not the edits, but if I got the wheel in real like how would it look?) 2 are there sizes that will fit my stock tire? on this site http://www.summitracing.com/search/B...u&Ns=Price|Asc I can not search for 96 blazer and find the wheels to check if they will fit :| |
Cragar's are probably the most widely used rim on the forum. One of the most popular too.
As for fitting your stock tire....any 15x7" rim will work. |
so I don't need to worry about the thickness of the rim (to wide for tire)?

I edited my original post. My bad :D And BTW...Cragars look good on just about any Blazer...especially black ones IMO. As long as you don't mind having something a lot of other people have. and...the bolt pattern is 5x4.75 |
Ah ok :D
yeah I think they look good. I don't want an off road truck but they look kind'a good on lowered ones haha. So these would fit then? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CRR-3975734/ |
lol yeah...I dunno what I was thinking in that first post. Brain fart... :P
As for those rims they will fit a 2wd Blazer (which I think yours is?). A 4x4 would need 6in backspacing. |
I have a 4x4. What's a 6in backspacing?
Also is wheel spacers legal? I've seen trucks with cool wheels (15in) and their wheels stick out and it looks so cool. |
Spacers are legal yes...
They don't seem to make a Cragar in a 6in backspacing. I took a loo through those pages and didn't see anything above 4.25in. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CRR-3975734P/ Those would work. You might have to get some spacers though to have them fit properly. It would probably take some playing with the spacer size..but I'll wait for someone else to pipe in and confirm this for sure since I've never actually researched it much myself. I just know the stock backspacing on a 4x4 rim is 6in. |
ok thanks

check in the wheels and tires section. there is a lot on various sized rims, tires, lift, lowering, back space, rub, spacers... etc
most of it has been asked and answered. get friendly with your search function. |
Alright thanks :) this area is new so before I'd buy (which isn't any time soon anyway) I'd want to know exactly what to expect ya know?
|
Alright so my dad told me he wants to get new rims for the winter tires and told me if I wanted anything I'd have to pay the difference. He was going to get some stocks but I told him I had some in mind. :icon_teeth:
Now you told me the bolt pattern and everything I need but question: Will it fit without question on a 4wd? I think the tires he's getting are the same size as stock so I won't worry there. I just need to know :icon_shrug: |
...As Curtis mentioned above you need to start getting friendly with the search feature. Cragar's are probably the most discussed rim on the forum. A little searching would have found your answer...

Spacers do not increase backspacing. They decrease it. You cannot increase the backspacing on a rim without moving the wheel mounting surface further towards the outside of the rim.

Yeah I get what Kyle was saying now that I think about it. I'm not sure why I thought spacers would help. It worked out in my head that night I posted it for some reason LOL. Maybe I had had a few too many beers...

As it is though, they'll be sticking out an extra 2 inches, and 2 much makes a stock height truck look like a wannabe go-kart. I say buy the rims, and if you want them to stick out more, get spacers. Don't buy the spacers before the rims because you may not even want to use them... The easiest way I can explainbackspacing to you craig is with this:
It's the distance between the mounting surface and the inside lip of the rim... On 4x4's it's 6 inches, if you get a rim with 4 inch backspacing, that mounting surface will be 2 inches closer to the inside lip, pushing the entire rim out 2 inches... Once you wrap your head around the concept you'll see it isn't that complicated, it's actually visualizing it that's the hard part. http://images.auctionworks.com/hi/59...ackspacing.jpg |
Sisk: I had tried and didn't really find anyting
Old: Not really but it would be cool :D Oktain: So your saying they'll fit, but will stick out a little bit? What about the fronts? |
You have been told the answer over and over Craig.
THEY WILL FIT. But they will stick out an extra 2" compared to the rims you have on them now. This was all answered in the 6 LINKS AND A SEARCH I posted for you as well as by Pat. Sorry for yelling, but I'm getting extremely frustrated because you're given answers over and over but you don't care to read or listen and continue to ask the same questions over and over again. |
