factory 15X7s - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

they did make some of our factory style wheels in 15X7 right? what were they on, vans or something?

and do they have the same backspace as a 15x8, just an inch taken off the outside?

I don't know if there were factory 15 X7 rally wheels, but the vans had 15 x 6.5. The pair I have had about 1/4" less backspacing than my 15 X8 wheels. I used them on the front after I installed drop spindles. I didn't have to grind as much from the lower a-arm lip.

I found a set of 2 15X7's on the side of the road on my way home. They had some ****ty old tires that I had to dismount but I hope to try them soon. I'll post some pics when I get em mounted. The 15X10's I bought look wicked with the 27.5X12 slicks I bought on ebay.

none that i know of. i think the ones people have are aftermarket ones

Basically 15x7 were standard, 15x8 were optional. From what I remember, Burbs came standard with 15x8's. 15x10 are aftermarket. Usually you can find 15x7's on non-Silverado or early model pickups. They will be marked on the rim lip.
