Anyone Running 15x10 Wheel Vintiques Rallys?

Looking to buy these:

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/WVI-42-5005042/

Not sure on the backspacing?, truck is stock height and I will be running the stock GM rallys 15x8 rallys on the front, Tires will be 295/50/15 rears and 245/60/15 fronts. Im thinking 4.5" backspacing to get the most dish on the outside. Am I correct?

Truck as it sits now

Re: Anyone Running 15x10 Wheel Vintiques Rallys?

I have the same rear size rallys on mine (15x10 with 295/50/15) but I have 5in back space for fender clearance. If your not going to install a flip kit 4.5in backspace will be fine with lots of dish.

Thanks, Is that Rear outer fender clearance? How did you find the quality? Did they match the same?

Quality-A1, but I bought mine directly from wheel vintiques.
By matching, if you mean the stamping of the center of the wheel, yes its a perfect match.
If you mean the color I don't know, I painted mine black. And yes it was outer fender clearance.

Re: Anyone Running 15x10 Wheel Vintiques Rallys?

Thanks J Night. I think then the 4.5 BS will be the ones. I just wanted the same as the fronts but wider.

Jonboy The slots will be going on the other 87 that I have. I do like the look but they are alot of upkeep to keep them that shiny. I also have a pair of Eagle Alloy 5 spoke for the Blue 87 which i like alot.

Just as J Knight said, the quality of the wheels is great and they match factory originals perfectly. I purchased the exact ones you looking at from Summit and they have a really nice paint finish on them although I ended up painting mine because I wanted an exact paint match with the front 15x8's I already had on the front.

Re: Anyone Running 15x10 Wheel Vintiques Rallys?

Just a suggestion. If you are not lowering I would suggest a little taller tire on the rear. 295/50's leave a really big gap on a stock height truck. Maybe a 275/60/15. They are like 28" tall as oppose to the 26" 295/50. They look nice and wide on a 10" wheel as well.

Re: Anyone Running 15x10 Wheel Vintiques Rallys?

i think 235/75/15 and 295/60/15 would be perfect for running15x10's on the back of these trucks but sadly its not a popular size

these would look pretty dang cool though http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HOO-17125/

Re: Anyone Running 15x10 Wheel Vintiques Rallys?

I already have the tires on the slots and I went out and my mistake there 235/60's so I just want to swap rims and get something with less maintenance.

I have the 6 bolt rallys on my 69 with 8's on the front and 12's on the back but I had them custom made.

Re: Anyone Running 15x10 Wheel Vintiques Rallys?

So just what would be a good wheel to fender space? I measured mine and it seemed that a 15/10 w/4.5 Back space would leave me 1/2" from tire to fender. Thats taking into account adding 1.5 inchs to the edge of my (tire)255/60 on a 15/8 w/4" backspace. Am I wrong? Because a 295/50 or a 275/50 on a 10" will not have as side bulge.

Im running 15x10 5in bs w/295/50/15 tires. I have 1/4in clearance on the fender lip and 1in clearance from the wheel tub. (10 bolt rear, if it matters)
