Bring out yer wheels...

[nitroracer]

They look nice on the newer merks too, this should give you an idea.

nitro- those are the "D" wheels. The Soft 8s don't have the red/blue pinstripes circling the face- just straight black.

[nitroracer]

I know, but its similar.

[Grand Marquis GT]

I got the "D" wheels. Love em.

I will probably do something to remove the stripe tho...

here is what the Soft 8's look like on a Panther.

[Freshmeat]

Are those 15" or 16"?

[Archangel]

Any difference in strength between the "Soft 8" and the "D-type" Cragars?

[DuceAnAHalf]

Fresh, mine are 15" X 10"

Ivan you can check out the load ratings on Summits site. The 15's are rated to 1,500#s each The center of the wheel is made out of 1/8th inch thick steel.

dang what kind of backspacing are those? did you have to special order those? what size tire is that? any change to the speedo?

here is what the Soft 8's look like on a Panther.

[DuceAnAHalf]

They are 4" backspace, off the shelf, 5" is ideal but those are special order (about $80 each) Tires are 325/50R15 Drag radials. they are 28" tall same as stock so no speedo change necessary.

Those are killer, Boxman. My ONLY problem with the old school Cragars is that 16s are required for the big brakes up front. If I wasn't obsessed with aiming everything toward the final goal, I'd run 'em, too.

...and I don't know what it is, but they look incredibly bad ass on your wagon.

Ultimately, Id like 17x8 magnum 500's

[boXman]

Cragar S/S's come in 16 and 17 inch, as well now.
