Dick was running Good-Year 8.90 x 15" Slicks.

The rear Cragars were 15" x 6" with a 4" Bolt pattern

The fronts were 14" Cragars, as they were required because
of the Fenderwell Headers.

Were 15" Cragars available accross the counter with a 4" BC or were these specially made?

The 15" Cragar S/S Wheels with the 4" Bolt-Pattern for the A-Body
Mopars were not part of the Cragar Catalog.


Special Order only back then.
