I like 'em! And what I like most about them is the simplicity of the design, yet still giving a great hot rod look. Those two reasons are why the classic Cragars have a timeless look. I'm not a big fan of overly busy wheels.

How did you fit those meats under there while being lowered without rubbing on your lower control arm? Did you get the BMR LCA's

You know, I think I'm thinking of 18" wheels. but damn, 335's? sheesh

Yes sir, thanks. That is the reason I sold the MRR M228's. They just didn't give my Camaro the look I was looking for, and a PITA to clean too!! But they did look nice no doubt. And I agree on the Crager's, had them on my 72 Challenger. Always been a "5 spoke" guy.

That is the reason I went with the ARC-8 wheels. Don't see if often unless it's a BMW. Classic BMW wheel design is to die for!

Hey Mark. Yeah the offset on the wheels is a +30, so they poke out a bit as you can see in some of my pics. I don't mind that because it has that "old school" look to it. The guys at PK Auto sent me pics of them on a 5th gen to see before I bought them to see how it would look with a 315 tire on them. So I bought them. And I didn't like the way the 315's were stretched, so when I had the car up in the air one day, checked the inner clearance and noted that I could put a 335 on there no problem!! The rest is history. The springs I have on the car, Pfadt Racing springs are pretty stiff, but ride very comfortable, so they don't rub at all when she bounces over any dips. I even had these 335 tires on my 11 inch M228's with the +43 offset and they didn't rub either. Guess I've been pretty lucky in that aspect.

Agreed. The other wheels I did find that were 12 inch wide were only I think 19's that APEX had, but I didn't like the multi spoke design, or 19's, and the price?? Naahhh... The Feradda's are good for what I wanted the look to be.
