FWIW, a few early Panteras in So-Cal were delivered new-from-the dealers with Cragar wheels. Ford got extremely upset with those dealers apparently because Ford was getting a LOT of unwanted attention from the DOT and the crash tests did not use oversized 'hot-rod' wheels (Ford's term in their correspondence). Ford actually supplied free sets of spare Campys to those owners to CYA but for a change, it was never a Fed. issue. Ancient history-

Are the wheels you have staggered, or all the same width?
