I have the opportunity to get some Cragar Street Pro wheels for my wagon.  I like my Magnum 500s, but they're not in the greatest of shape.  The Street Pros look kinda like a fancy version of slot mags.  Would anyone have the talent and resources to photoshop these wheels on my wagon?  Any opinions on the wheels?  This was the only side shot I've got of the wagon.  I can get a better straight-on pic from the side, if I need to.  Thanks!

Here's another angled pic, that might work better.

Those would look great on the wagon. Is it a staggered set?

Yup.  15x10 w/ 305-50s on the rear.  And 15x8 w/ 245-60s on the front.  I gotta do some careful measuring, to make sure the offset and wide-a$$ tires will fit.

I think those wheels would look great on your wagon.  The wheels look a little like vintage Halibrands.  This image while a little too photochopped might give you an idea on how they would look:

My brown wagon has the Salt Flats. Similar to Halibrands, and I think they look great.

Thanks Joe.  Found out the 15x10s have 4.25" BS.  I'm wanting these things to tuck as much as possible.  Been reading the wheel/tire thread.  Looks like I might be better off with 5" BS.  Also not sure on the 305-50-15 tires.  They haven't been made in a long time.  These have no cracking or dry rot, but still not sure how safe they would be.

I am going to show you how P225/70R15's look and fit on a midsize chassis. these rims are 7 in wide with a 1 1/2 spacer up front. The 2 reasons I used the spacer was for a better (wider stance for better conering) and to prevent the tires from rubbing on the frame. I will show you though in one photo how close you will get to the fender. The only time this will rub is in a hard braking situation while cornering hard or pulling into a steep upgrade while turning hard and braking. In the three years I have had this rub about 4 times and I have driven the car about 10,000 miles in that time.

Thanks Dan.  I've actually got 245-60-15s on the front of my wagon now, with no issues.  Will need to compare the offset of my Magnums with the Cragars, to make sure.
