    Got the tires installed and balanced today. I think I need 1/4'' spacer for the rear, it's real close. The back space on the Cragers was 4 1/4'' the Magnums are 4 1/2''. Going to drive it a while and see.

    I am not saying try this but I knew a guy that pulled his back brake hubs off and put a large flat washer with a hole that was same as stud on each stud and then put his brake hubs back on to clear his tires from the spring, your car is very nice and wheels are perfect!

    Those are sweet!
    I think your red paint makes any classic wheel 'pop' on your car.
    Can't go wrong with Magnums.
