Different Direction for truck. Info on Ralleys needed.

So, the truck has been my daily for about 2 years now, with the sucker getting bagged and lots of other fun stuff happening to it, plenty of stuff has broke and needed to be fixed. I havent been able to really throw lots of upgrades on her lately and it had me wondering what direction I really wanted to go with her.

I was on Sportruck.com looking through the galleries of the latest shows today because it was nice to just be bored for once and waste time looking at trucks. But I was appauled at where the show scene had gone, its all about shocking the viewer, not classic style. Pink paint, horrible over complicated suspension setups, and anything else that screams out loud.

Now I was originally planning on going with an 18/20" combo on my truck. But now I just want to get away from that scene. I want a throwback, retro, restified truck. I was looking at classic wheel combos that just screamed cool to me. I came upon Corvette ralleys. 2 words, Oldschool cool.

Now as I come to understand it that a ralley wheel is just the pain ole bare wheel with rings and covers attached. Its been a while since ive had to deal with em

So my question is, what backspacing do they come with? I want to run a 235/65/15 or close up front as not to rub with the bags. And most likely a 255/60/15 out back to fill up the wells decently, its super low.


This also had me contemplating if I really wanted to get crazy with the rear bags? Step notching the frame and all. Since I was going for a GMachine (well, as much as you can for a truck) setup. Just to have a nice cruiser and be able to carve the corners. Any input would be appreciated.

This truck was what really wowed me. I remember the owner saying it was at 6/8 or so. Mine sits far lower in the back and my front is currently bagged.
