I believe originally they were 15X3.5. Back in 1970 that is at least how they were advertised and that is what we bought BUT nobody ever really measured that stuff back then. I think Cragar went to 4&quot; years later. If I remember correctly they were 3.5. But I am old and maybe having another brain fart like Howie, Cumby or that Italian guy that lives in Ohio.

I like the sound of the size of those wheels (unless they are going on the back of the car <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif)

The original owner's 15x4 Cragars on my Charger are 1970 vintage and say &quot;Not For Street Use&quot; inside the rim. I thought that was the narrowest size they made.

Like I told you, a brain fart could have taken place the same time the quake hit! Maybe it was the Gyros that are 3-1/2's.

The Super Tricks were 15 x 3.5 but I have never seen a 15x3.5 SS. I don't know if they could be made that thin due to the thickness of the spokes and how the spoke needs to be welded to the rim. There is minimal back spacing with the SS as is.

I looked in my Mr Ed's Performance catalog 1968 and they are 15x4
