wheel interchangeability
Guys, I bought some Cragar mags for a 1962 Corvette that I've since sold. (the car) Since my 64 Corvette is of course still drum brakes I assume that the wheels will fit my 64? Correct??

They should fit at least as far as the wheel mounting on the hubs/spindles. As far as actual fender clearance goes, that's another matter. I'd want to be sure that they have the correct offset. This was +0.44 for both 1962 and 1964 5-1/2" steel wheels. Of course, this does not mean that's what these wheels are, even if they were installed on a 1962 Corvette. If it's an incorrect offset, it might work on a 1962 and not work on a 1964 for fender clearance reasons.
However, if they are 5-1/2" or 6" wheels with a +0.44 offset, they will fit with no problems.In Appreciation of John Hinckley -

Don, don't know if this helps or not - according to Motor Wheel Corp wheel chart part # X40020 5 1/2" wheels will work from 57-64. Gary....
