Truck Rallly Wheel Size? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**70cst** · 03-04-2008, 10:29 AM

I noticed most of the GM truck rally wheel sizes are 15x8"...how unusual are the 15x9" rally wheels?

I've only heard of 15x8" and 15x10" truck and Corvette ralleys.

Maybe I will have to double check them. I bought these at a Corvette Show in Chicago about six years ago and they were advertised as "rare" 15x9" truck rallys. They are on the truck at this time but I will be buying new tires soon so at that time I will check them out. The dish look deeper than what I normally see but that may just be my eyes playing trucks. Thanks for the feedback.

Factory truck ralleys were only available up to 8" as far as I was aware.I have seen 7" and 6.5" and I had thought a few years of Vans had a 5" version but wont stand behind that 100%.

The factory used two sizes,7" & 8",measured between the beads.You see alot of guys that measure the extreme outer dimension which is incorrect.

there were also 6.5" widths ... measured inside to inside bead rings

if you are measuring it from the outside lip to outside lip they will come in at 9" but they are 15X8

Thanks for the info...so I guess 9" rally's would be rare? With this said I have 15x8 wheels. Mystery solved.
