>>got curious, and CRAGAR still makes wheels that might
fit sprites. 13x5.5----4 bolt on 4" spacing! I'm NOT
gonna buy 'em for the forseeable future ($176 per!!)
but would they fit in an SWA car?<<
Bill,
With a 3.5 backspacing (approx. .75 offset) and the "baseball bat"
treatment to the inner fender lips it will fit. Tire size makes a
difference to. A 175/70 is probably the biggest you could fit unless you
tweak the fender a little more.
FYI: The "Vega" Cragars do show up on e-bay occasionally.
