I've noticed that as the years go on the leaf's get weak and they tend to sag.Make sure you do'nt have a sagging ass(lol) or you'll be more like 4/7 drop.........solve the problem and bag it.

Mine are 15X8. I think they were available in 15X6 and 15X7 also. I heard the 15X6 were used on vans, but I don't know if that is true. You can get aftermarket 15X10 rallys from wheel vintiques and people like that, but I don't thing they made any factory ones.

Boxrodz answered the backspacing question in an earlier post in this thread. I don't know anything about the backspacing on them. They were factory, and were on the truck when I got it. I was told they would fit once it ws lowered, and they did, so I didn't care about the backspacing. :)

Oops, completley missed that for some reason. :o

Hey Slonaker, thanks a lot man, I appreciate it. I finally found the oem style wheels on the wheel vintiques site, can't find the price on them though. Are your wheels OEM, or aftermarket?

**EDIT**
NM I found the price, not bad at all. Quick question though, it says bolt circle is 5-5 isn't is supposed to be 5x4.75?

Nah, 5 on 5 should do it unless you got a non-stock bolt pattern. :cool:

Cool. Thanks for the info.

Anybody know if the 15x8 stock rims would clear up front? or would they hit the fender? I'm planning on bagging it in the future.

4/6 drop flip kit notched frame. 15x8 rallys 235 70 series tires front. . 1" wheel spacers, I use wheel wieghts that glue on the inside of the rim. Because the normal ones that go on the edge rub on the a arm. Grind off most all the lip off the a-arm. Regular length headers no problem. Just dont go fast over speed bumps. does it rub? yes it rubs on extreme right turns. bigger wheels best fix.

I bought some wheel vintique hubcaps for my '37 Chevy. Summit had a good price on them because of their cheap shipping (which may not apply to wheels). You might see how they compare.

I have 15X8 Rally wheels all around with 255/70/15 Radial TAs. With my 2.5' drop spindles, the tires don't hit anything EVER. I have had that combo for 2.5 years with no problems. No matter how fast I go or how far I turn the wheel, the tire never hits anything. I am wondering now if I can go an inch lower in the front. :)

No idea how it would work with bags. Too high dollar for me. :whine:
