Cragar Soft 8
« on: July 31, 2009, 02:32:27 pm »
I really like the look for the Cragar Soft 8 wheel, does anyone here have a picture of their truck with this rim (Preferably the silver powdercoat, because that is a close match to the truck), and also since the truck sits up a little I want a REALLY deep rim.  I need a 16x7, 8x6.5 lug cragar.

Any Input?

No need to be snotty about it.  Maybe the answer was NO, no one who has seen the message has a pic of those wheels.  And your other post doesn't appear to be a question.  If you have specific questions you should rephrase it.  It can be slow around here sometimes, but you'll be hard pressed to find a better groups of guys and gals who are knowledgeable with these trucks.

Oh, and welcome aboard.  LOL.

Did it ever occur to you to take a minute of your precious time to post a picture of the wheel you wanted? Do you think anyone who doesn't know what that wheel is should have to go searching for you? Lot's of people like Scottsdales. Way to make a first impression over here. Have fun on your Gbody forum.

We wrench on our rides, not sit on the computer all day bench racing. If someone here has an answer, they will give it. If not, why waste your time or theirs with un important info. You'll be missing out on more info on these trucks that you'll ever get at Gay-bodyforum. If thats the attitude you're gonna have then dont let the door knob hit ya where the good Lord split ya. You loss, not ours. We wanna help, you just have to be patient. I have no idea what a soft 8 looks like. You asked if someone had a pic of their truck with the soft 8 rims on it. So far, Id have to say no one who has read this has that rim. You asked a specific answer, noone had the correct answer. There are those here who are awesome at photoshop. If you posted a pic of your truck, and the rim in question, someone might have taken the time out to photoshop it for you or show you one with similar rims. Overall, not a good way to thank someone who had the only answer available at the time, even if it was to photoshop it. And the Scottsdale remark??? What would that have to do with anything? Its just a trim option. I have a Scottsdale, alot of people here have Scottsdales. I just dont get it.

 I did see your other post. I was waiting on you to answer the question you were asked before I could give anything other than "nice truck"

Thanks, Yes now my question would be, The Full Floating axle on my truck seems to look like it wont fit through any rims I have been looking at.  Has anyone bought rims for a truck with a Full Fl. Axle?

Most all aftermarket wheels are larger than stock on the centers, so they should fit fine. Ford rims will fit Chevy, but not the other way around because the Chevy centers are usually smaller. Aftermarkets, no prob

Wow...your age sure shows here. Most guys here are a lil more mature, and knowledgeable. They are not going to post just to up their post count (as other boards do). I suggest if you want to learn, you cool your jets a bit, and maturly tap the vast knowledge resource that is here.
