I just saw on the Crager website a post from November which says they now have “special backspace” SS wheels. https://www.cragarwheel.com/news/ne...rfect-combination-of-style-and-functionality/ You have to go to all the way at bottom of this page to see “special backspace” wheels in list https://www.cragarwheel.com/wheels/product-detail/series-61c-ss/ Am I interpreting this correctly that their new “special backspace” have 4.5” backspace for the 15x7 4-3/4” bolt pattern and 5.3” backspace for the 15x8 4-3/4” bolt pattern? Here is screenshot
Cool. I think they only had 4 to 4.25” backspace before. I think these larger backspace ones just came out in November.
It had come up several times about the lack of 15x8 wheels with 5” or more of backspace. https://www.v8buick.com/index.php?threads/15x8-wheels-with-5-inches-backspacing.314394/ Apparently Crager is now making one as of November 2023. The model 61C583452 is supposedly 15x8 with 5.3” of backspace. Could be a good option for Buicks since Wheel Vintiques stopped making custom offset 15x8 Buick Rallyes. I could find no other off the shelf 5 spoke style 15x8 wheel with 5” or more backspace.
