    Unless there was more then one spread, I believe NO. The ones I have had were 4 1/2, 4 3/4, and 5.

    Many years ago ... I had a set of Cragar S/S wheels that were drilled the 5 on 5.5 pattern ... from Cragar ... especially for Ford F-100's and I had them on my 56 F-100 Big Window ... AH ... them were the days ... :)

    No Uni-lug wheel I've ever heard of provides an early Ford bolt pattern.

    Yes, they were offered drilled (as opposed to Uni-lug) in that pattern years ago.

  9. I know this thread is REALLY OLD, but anyone still need a pair of 15 x 7 Cragar S/S rims on a 5x5.5 bolt pattern?

    Bumping this SUPER DUPER old thread, I too am looking for some 5.5 early Ford Cragar s/s with good chrome on centers. Don't care about the rim or wheel shell, they could be bent for all I care.

    I run across them occasionally, I even seen new flat spoke design in 5.5, I have a "vintage mag wheel" group on Facebook and there's been a couple sets on there, there's also another group there called "cragar aficionados"

    Flat spoke Cragar; useless as ***s on a boar... I would love to find a pair of the older 5.5 pattern centers to make my own front runners.

    Reviving this old thread, now "I'M" looking for a set of S/S's in a 5x5.5" pattern in the 7" and 10" width varieties....anyone??
    Even better: Anyone have any old Keystone Kl***ics in the same widths and patterns?? I actually called Keystone (Cragar) about getting a new set drilled in a 5.5" pattern, and got the response that it'd cost "$35K" to retool a line to accommodate that request, but I'm SURE that back in the day, we could get them in those sizes...

    Anybody?

    Might be time to just re-drill the hubs/axles to a more common size? Cheaper too ($35K???). I am Butch/56sedandelivery.

    Hi Butch...I know, damn. I can still get the Cragars new for that pattern at about $250 a pop, but not the Kl***ics...only up to 5" now, but if I can find the S/S's used it might be worth holding out. :)
