Cragar wheel lug nut ?'s 67 belvedere

[clemul]

I just got a set of used 14" cragar wheels with oblong stud holes off a 65 satellite and would like to use them in my 67 belvedere until I can afford 15" wheels. I still have stock drum brakes and spindles...
Does anyone know where I can get a set of proper lug nuts for these wheels? Are wheel specs the same between 65 satellite and 67 belvedere as far as backspacing etc? Any info, links etc would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks much

I work at a wheel/tire shop.
I have been getting other clients buying vintage "UNI-LUG" wheels without the nuts and washers.
Luckily,Gorilla still manufactires the nuts and washers in a package.
Typically you need the 3/4 inch shank,oval washers with the 1/2 inch thread size.
The wheels are desigined to bolt onto most cars back in the day and will work on your car no problem.
Hope this helps.

the washers make the real difference there.the lugs are just standard mag,but the washers are offset.make sure you get a set that will work with the cragar wheels.if you look at the wheels you will see the indention around the lug hole that locks the washer into place.

Thanks for the handy info... Any opinions on what tire size would look best on these 14" cragars and not have any rub issues on a 67 gtx clone?.. Looking for opinions for "looks" as car is mostly for cruisin'...doesn't have to be " biggest" that fits, just what you think looks good...Thanks for any and all input... It's my first "older" car and I don't have the experience like you guys have.. Your opinions and help is valued...

How wide are the rims??
2157514 works well.
2257014 is available in white letter and also in a redline radial
Nice sized tires for cruising and lots of clearance yet still fill out the wheelwells..
Hope this helps.
