As a very fond of crager wheels I have some informations for everyone. How do i care for my crager wheels so that it will always keep good looking, i used soap and clean water to clean it and once a month I use a no abrasive car wax on them.
Since all crager wheels are a lug centric i used to balance a unilug through out the lug nut holes. Remember Crager S/S do not fit to a 6-lug truck as it would have a 6 spokes. S/S is only made in rear wheels drive remember that.
People sometimes ask how do i measure the bolt pattern of crager wheels, and my tips is on a five lug pattern you measure from the center of one stud, skip a stud and to the far side of the third stud.. But remember when it is a 5 bolt pattern measuring a 5-bolt pattern is not that easy to measure without using a bolt pattern gauge. Basically, you would measure the diameter of a circle that crosses through the center of the lug holes. This measures is not recommended to confirm wheel fitment. On the contrary measuring the 4, 6 and 8-bolt patterns, it is measured from the center of one lug hole to the center of the opposite hole. Got it?
I have also an idea of backspacing which is usually ask by the customer who are fond loving also of crager wheels. Backspacing is the distance from the mounting surface of the wheels, which contacts the hub, to the back rim flange.
Crager louvers now still marketed by a company and you can still check crager wheels to a wheels and tires warehouse.Check out in the warehouse near you and online.
