What, exactly, did Cragar tell you?

Guy didnt really know anything more than that. I'm sure he just punched in make model and year and out came a "nope"

Craggier SS rims have been fitting on Dodge vans ever since Dodge vans have ben made. You need about four inches of backspace on a 15x6-15x8 wheel to fit on a Dodge vehicle.
You might have confused him by calling the rims "ss"es. The old classic Cragar SS rim that we all know was, in fact, referred to as the Gragar SS when it was new and for decades afterwords. However, the current Cragar catalog lists the "Cragar SS" as a different rim than what you are looking for. If you are ordering new Cragars, you want the "Cragar Vintage One Piece" line. The offset on ever size rim appears to be 4-4 1/2, so get whatever diameter and width tickles your fancy.

The 'New' SS is more like a FWD offset, this is why the spacers are required. If you look at the new RWD cars like the Charger and Challenger, they all have negative offset wheels like FWD cars. The new SS is made for those cars.
