Cragar's

I have the Cragar's. I also bought them from Summit because they were such a good price. I have heard that they aren't welded as well as some other steel wheels but I haven't had any problems. I've had mine for about a year and have done lots of rocks and mud and haven't had any issues with them.

I have them on mine. Well, I might have modified them. ;D But as far as strength, they'll be fine. I beat on mine fairly hard, and I'm sure the 40's put a lot of stress on them.

Check out my snow pics and videos on the link below.

hey thanks a lot guys definitely gonna go with them. the price is right and it looks good imo. crawler what size tires are you running and what lift?

spareparts those pics are awesome i cant wait to get back stateside unfortunately the snow will be melted i think by the time i get the truck up and running. I think ill be going with 33 or 35s im not too sure as of yet.

Go with the 35's, I started with the 33's a long time ago. You no more that get them on and think...why didn't I just do it. It's an addiction!

And then I end up with 40's ;D

Good luck!

this will be my DD with weekend use on the trails. 35s should be fine lol im not too sure about those 40s though.

I used 15x10 w 33/12.5's. I wish I had used the 15x8. Smart choice.
Have had no issues with the back spaceing. 4" if I recall .....

I looked at those also. I would like the old cragar SS, but wasnt sure how they would look. Anybody running those. They would kinda be era correct, right?

Crawler, I love your color combo on that Bronco.

Crager Soft 8 - I bought them black and had them painted to match the rest.

4" of backspacing seems like a little much. Anyone have any trouble with the spacing?

Also... SpareParts:

Can you explain more about how you added the rock rings? With a 35 x 12.5 15 would you be best off with a 8" wide wheel?

hey thanks a lot guys definitely gonna go with them. the price is right and it looks good imo. crawler what size tires are you running and what lift?

35" tires and 3-1/2" suspension + 2" body lift.

they are a little cheaper at Jegs but I don't know about shipping
