72 Vette wanting Cragar Wheels

[taylorj]

I was looking at JEGS (the CHEAPEST prices on wheels I have found) and am a bit confused. What do I need for a 72 Coupe in regards to bolt pattern and rear spacing...? In the past I always bought from a local dealer and had them put them on and now in this INTERNET age, I will need to know this so I can order them on-line. Anyone able to educate me about wheel basics would be great. Also, I assume I need 15x8 rims as they are standard as far as I know.

Thanks!!

A fellow CAC member has very nice wheels on his '70... they are AR Thrust 2 but very similar to Cragar SS...maybe even better looking...here's link to his site w/ pics. http://www.corvetteforum.net/c3/themoneypit/

tire rack.com

Got to www.thetirerack.com as this site has an interactive feature that permits you to choose a wheel and then superimpose it onto photos of cars already on file at site. They do have a C3 on file and it works simply and quickly. I've also been told tire rack is very knowledgeable and helpful in assisting with non-stock tire/wheel sizing.
