camaro rally wheels on a c10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

cruisinlow67 · 03-20-2007, 02:34 AM

i saw a board members truck the other day with what looked like 17" camaro style rally wheels on it. what would the best backspacing be? if i drop a 73-87 5 lug crossmember in will they bolt up to it. ive seen the wheels in a 5x5 lug pattern.

Assuming an 8 inch wide wheel, you've got the ability to go from 4 inch backspacing all the way to 5 inch backspacing.

The last truck I did 5 inch b.s. though, I thought the wheels were tucked too far under the fenders. I really think they look best with 4.25 or 4.5 inch b.s. overall. I should add that all my stuff has been lowered 4 to 5 inches in the front.

I have Iroc Camero rims from a late 80's Camero. However the stud holes are slightly smaller then my truck. A real drag as I spent some time on restoring them. I was told that there was no difference on the truck / car 5 bolt arrangement, but there must be?

There is quite a difference. Car pattern is 5 on 4.75 truck patter is is 5 on 5. There's a quarter of an inch difference in the bolt circle.

Ya I now know that.

Here are some pics of the camero idea.

I like the colour match to the truck.

Here is a picture of mine with the 17 inch Impala SS wheels. They are the 5x5 bolt pattern and will bolt up directly with no spacers or adapters.

I have a set of the 17" Corvette rally's, not mounted yet, here it is next to a 15"

Wow turner and centsless, those look good. I have never seen those set-ups before.

LUV2XCLR8,

Where did you get those rally's and how much $ where they.

The larger rally's that I have seen use the stock size 15" center and change the rim size to make it work and it doesn't look quite right to me.....your's do.
