Cook_Dw,

While were at it, what size fronts do you think he ran as well? 15x4.5?

Cook_dw, thanks for the info and yes I would appreciate the backspacing on both the cars when you have time. Are they both running the same size wheels? So if I understand you correctly, I can run discs on the rear no problem, but I should run the 69 style calipers on the front and will require some spacing? I didn't realize there was a difference in the wheels so that's helpful on old vs. new. I think I will try and find a some old ones and have them re-plated.

As for pics, of course we only have a few but maybe you or some others can tell me if these look like 15's or 14s on my old mans old car. And thanks for the help!

Hello,

I know there's been a decent amount of cragar discussions but I was hoping to get some specific info related to my restoration. Long story short, I'm restoring my old mans old drag car (67 Camaro) which I found after 27 years in a garage from the same family he sold it too. I know he ran cragars on it and I believe they were 15x10's on the rear but they could have been 14's.

My question to the knowledgeable folks here is can I run cragars either 15x10 or 14x10 on the rear without any issues like clearance, brakes fit, etc? I would like to upgrade to disc brakes but not sure if they'll fit? I've seen one gentlemans fathers green car on here with 14x10's and they looked good. Any pics of your cars with either of these two wheel sizes and any helpful info to provide me as I look to purchase these? Should I try to find vintage Cragars or will the new stuff look the same and be just as good?

Thanks a lot for all the help.
