6-lug 15x8 Rallye wheel Backspacing? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I can't, for the life of me, find this info anywhere. Anyone know? I think it's somewhere around 4", but I would like to confirm...

Thanks -Chris

Just measured an extra set I had, 4" backspace, 8" wide. Couldn't read the numbers stamped on the wheel...J.

Sweet. Thanks- that's the 6-lug 4wd version, correct?

Didn't know there was a 4x version, but the chrome cap says 4x4. I can measure the hub demension if needed

gringoloco · 03-27-2008, 10:05 PM

Yep. I don't actually think there's a 2wd 6-lug wheel. I just wanted to confirm the 6-lug 'cause I *think* the 5-lug had a different offset. Thanks again for the info- it helps a lot.

Well, these 6 lug wheels have a 3 1/2" center hub diameter, and that's what my Jimmy uses

I'm not trying to say that anyone is wrong here, but I was thinking that the 6 hole rally 4x4 wheels were about 9 or 9 & 1/4 wide(at the bead)? I know there was a narrow (7") version, but I thought the wide ones were definately wider than 8'?

Nope, they are 8 inch. The was never a wider factory truck rally than 8".

I measured the bead width, just tobe sure I was comparing apples with apples. I wish there were 9" wheels, LMK if any are around I'd buy them. Maybe your thinking of the corvette rally I believe they were 9's

HuggerCST · 03-29-2008, 07:24 AM

Hmmm. Maybe so, but I just measured some 6 luggers that I have and they look like 9s, but I am measuring with the tire still on. I have one without a tire on it, I'll have to check it. Maybe I'm crazy.

They do have info. stamped on the wheel, if you can read it! Rusty! Nine just seems like an odd number to me, don't recall running into any, but who knows I live in a small world

HuggerCST · 03-29-2008, 05:18 PM

Yep, I'm crazy.

I checked it this morning and it's 8. I'm glad that yall cleared that up for me, I always thought they were wider, because they appear wider than the 5 lug rallys, but looks can be decieving, apparently.
