Wink Does any one know if cragars would fit?

I am thinking about buying some old school 14x8 ss cragars. I would love to know if these will fit or not before driving an hour to get them. Please let me know. i dont know the bold pattern but it has 5 bolt holes so maybe that helps.

Old school rim where made in many configuration. You would need to know the Offset of the rim to even take a guess. I do not think 14" wheels will fit over your front calipurs. If I want to put decent front brakes on my 67 step one is upgrade to 15" rims.

My stock wheels are 16 inch so i really have no idea about how they would fit. Would you gamble it and take an hours drive worth of gas out of your tank for these?

Bolt pattern is the same. Offset on the Cragars look to be more than you have, which would make them stick out more. But, I'm fairly certain 14" wheels aren't going to clear your brakes. To top it off...those Cragars are pitted and look like they are in crap condition. What size wheels do you have now? If they're 16", you can look through them and see if you have an easy inch of clearance. What's wrong with your wheels anyway? They look nice.

Nothing is wrong with my rims its just that they're stock. I know some people love the stock look but with a v6 you cant doo much.

I would leave them for a old 70's car. You can find decent stock rim for cheap. I found these on Craigs list from a guy parting out a wrecked 2000 Camaro for $100 and two of the tire where like new. 235/55/16's

Edit, OK I am confused, ther rims in you sig are not stock?

Stock wheels on your car would have been the salad shooters. You don't have those. It doesn't look like you have "stock" Camaro wheels of any kind.
