CRAGAR SS UNI LUG Wheel HELP

[Machman]

Hi Guys;

I decided to put my 15 inch Cragar SS Uni-lug wheels back on my car but it has been a couple of years and I forgot which way the washers go.

I have the offset washers with the hole closer to one side so need to know the following;

Should the offset washer be fitted with the thin part (side w/ hole closest to washer edge) toward the "center cap" of the wheel?

or

Should the offset washer be fitted with the thin part (side w/ hole closest to washer edge) toward the outer "rim part" of the wheel?

Its a nice day today so would like to do this in a little while so if anyone who also has Cragar SS wheels on their car can let me know that would be great

The 73 I just sold had Keystone uni-lug wheels and the small side of the washer was toward the center.

Thank you for the very quick reply and would this be correct for a Cragar SS wheel as well?

Just a quick follow up, I checked and it looks like the Cragar SS washers will only fit w/ the thin edge facing toward the center cap the thicker end slips in between two cast ears in the wheel.

Thank you agan 71mach351 in for your reply

Hi Eric;

I just put the wheels back on today and here's a picture of the car w/ the Cragar Rims , In my opinion very nice looking wheels for our cars.

These are what came on my car originally when I bought it but they are peeling a little so I had bought some used 14" magnums which looked real nice but decided the ride was better with the 15" wheels so put them back on the car.

PS; excuse the dirt on the car but I never wash it , the paint is over 32yrs old so I just brush it every now and then to keep it clean

Thank you and your silver Mach 1 will look great with them, they are one of the most iconic wheels of the muscle car era so tend to look good on any body style of our cars.
