15x12 rally wheel?
Will they fit on a stock lwb? And if so, what backspacing is ideal?

Re: 15x12 rally wheel?
Please let me know where you have found them.
I would say 6-7" of BS should work depending on tire size. I am looking into running a 15x12 but haven't found a 12" rally. The tire I plan to run is 29x15r15 MT Sportsman S/R. You might have to modify your tub if you want a really big tire

Re: 15x12 rally wheel?
My 10 inch wide rim and tire combo are the limit IMO. They rub the inner tubs on hard turns. And yea where did you find this 12" wide rally?

Re: 15x12 rally wheel?
I am attempting to order them through Wheelmaster Classics in Calgary... He's a distributor for Wheel Vintiques... He is getting back to me tomorrow with their answer as far as "will they do it". He cannot see why not as they offer a 15" corvette ralley in 10,12,and 14" and they both share the same diameter center section of the wheel... Currently with my 15x10"/5"bs with 295/50/15's there is about 1 3/4" of space between tire and wheel well. That being said, if I am able to order a custom backspace, would 6" be ideal? I want to run the MT S/R's as well, 30/12/15 or wider if possible..

Re: 15x12 rally wheel?
Confirmed!!! I can get 15x12 or 15x14 rally wheels!!! I guess wheel vintiques is willing to make them! They are just under $240 a piece!

Re: 15x12 rally wheel?
Can't decide on proper backspacing for a stock height lwb... Ordering hinges on that...

Re: 15x12 rally wheel?
15x8 wheel has a 4" backspace.
15x12 wheel will need an 8" backspace for the outer edge of the rim to end up in the same location as a stock wheel. This will require mini-tubbing the bed. (A 7" backspace would probably work also)
