15 x 8, 6 lug Chevy wheels - questions
 
Does anyone have the specs for the '73-87 15 x 8, 6 lug Chevy steel wheels (not rally)? I'm going to hunt around for a set here at the numerous parts yards in Phoenix. Need to know what I'm looking for.

Anyone running these wheels on their '67-72? How do they fit? I'm probably going with an eventual 3/5 drop. What size tires are you running?

Thanks in advance.

Nice! That looks great. What size tires are you running? Exactly the size/look I want.

Does anyone have correct measurements for these wheels? (offset/backspace, etc) I want to make sure I'm getting the correct wheels. I appreciate it.

Are these the correct wheels? Or are they 4x4 wheels? I can't tell.

They look right. The 6 lug 8" wide wheels with 4 hubcap nubs are all 4x4 wheels. Those are the ones that will clear front disk brakes.

They will have a stamping on them that says 15x8, probably near the hole for the valve stem.

I still need to find a set, but haven't lucked out in my area yet.
