Fitting Cragars on 1986 300zx
Before I get ripped apart for doing this, I'm going to do it because I want to so save the "why the hell would you want to do that", as per usual when I ask a question on here lol. I have a pair of 5 bolt pattern Cragars kicking around that my father used to have on his 57 Chevy. They're the vari-fit (old stlye) with the oval lug openings rather than a circle. I know I need the deep Cragar lugs (Buy Dorman - Autograde Wheel Nut M12-1.25 Cragar SST Mag Style - 13/16 Inch Hex, 2.245 Inch Length 611-265.1 at Advance Auto Parts) but what other equipment will I need? Do I need spacers? They're only for rubbing and road noise right? And with that style cragar do I need some sort of mounting kit?

You will need hub centric rings to properly fit the wheels. Without information on the width and offset or backspacing, it's impossible to know if you will need spacers. I believe the wheel center bore is 66.1mm. So you will need an adapter ring to ensure the wheels bolt up correctly. Without it, they will be able to shift around and you will have huge vibration issues.

Thank you for the speedy response!
