I put a set of Cragar Truespoke on my 68 with Falken 185/60 R14's. I had to
"roll" the fender lip & they still rubbed a little when the car was loaded &
I hit a bump or cornered at speed. While I am rebuilding the car I had the
aluminum spacer milled 3/16". That was the max and still have clearance for
the drum. It will be a while before I get to try them out.
The part # from Prime Wheel in Gardena Ca was 168-46441-2. Was a 14x6 with
4x4.5 bolt pattern. Said it had a 'backsetting' of 118mm.
