New Wheels (cragar soft 8's)
 
I didn't know what you all thought about the cragar soft 8's. I am looking at getting these for my truck because I am sick a tired of my turning radius suffering so bad. I didn't know if any of you had these or have heard anything bad about them.

These....

I have actually thought about it myself - I just don't know how they would look on my truck - or any fullsize for that matter - all I have ever seen them on are jeeps - I say go for it!

Have you ever seen them in a 17' with a 5.5 bolt pattern??

How does that affect your turning radius?

No - but they are offered in that size - I think that is why he was asking for opinions.

After finding these in 17x9 at a distributor in town, I think I will be picking these up as well.......

The back spacing, these have a 4.5 back spacing. the stock ones have a 4 one i thing. The Rough Country website said that I need at least this much back spacing to fit.

I saw something about the size of the brake caliper and the spacing required.... be worth looking at that as well.
