I know the aftermarket sells the 5 on 5" lug corvette style..

I've found 9) 6" wide(or maybe they are 7")
and 3) 8" wide truck rallies

what years and app's was the 8" wide rallies on..
was it mostly vans.. or silverados??
gonna be doing a junkyard crawl. and like to up my chances of getting the 8" before I try pulling it off the vehicle, as it's hard to tell with the tire on..
any notable difference to spot the 8" right off the bat..
like the pontiac t/a snowflake wider wheel has a 1" outer lip..
thanks for any tips on what to look for..

Nice..I would rock those on my 67 c10 with the 6 lug pattern.

8" was generally on the pickups. If you saw the difference side by side you would know just by the trim rings or the amount of dish. I think they come in 6.5", 7", and 8"

I used Wheel Vintiques 'Vette-style rallye wheels on my '69, in a 6-lug, and the same style, but 16-inch vs 15-inch, on my '96...in a 5-lug. I wanted 16's, or I'd have rolled those truck rallye's.

Vans and the High Sierra/Scottsdale trimmed trucks came with the smaller ralleys, the silverado/Sierra Classic came with the 8" wide ones when they had HD suspension or were the "heavy half" trucks. I believe this is correct. This was my observation in the 80's when I worked at a dealer

I, love em! and run them on my 71short/fleet. and people always ask me where did you get those cool old wheels? cheers, Pat

The 8's have a 3" deep trim ring on them. I don't believe the others are that deep. They don't look too bad color matched either!

IIRC they have the size stamped on the back of the wheel?? If you see any lying around off a truck just rub the dirt off and hope you score.
