What size wheels???

silverjess · 06-15-2008, 11:48 AM

This is a great site!, now that I finally got my '70 Goat back from body work after 4yrs...........its a long story. Anyway, I would like to change out the 14" Cragars with some 18" rims/tires, does anyone know what size will work with my '70?, Most likely 18" in the back and 18" in front but a bit more narrow. Thanks for checking this out, and will post some pics, soon as I get her cleaned up from all that paint shop dust!!

Outstanding pic, I like the look alot! I will be selling the old Cragars.....I think they're Cragars, they say have an "R" on the center-cap. I'm having trouble locating tires/rims in an 18", I may have to look for 17's.......keep the pics rolling!!

Contact Travis with Discount Tires Direct, they are one of our supporting vendors and more than likely he'll be able to find those 18's for you.

I love the look of Cragars on a GTO, they just 'look' Muscle Car. I run the 15 x 10s in the rear and 14 x 7(or is it 6"?) in the front. I really like the natural raked look 15s in the back and 14s on the front gives you.
