15" rallye - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

70jnktrk · 11-17-2008, 02:20 PM

I am thinking about getting a set of rallyes for my truck..15x8 4inch backspace for the front and 15x10 5 inch backspace for the rear of my 70 1/2 lwb coil springs.. The 5 inch backspace should not cause any problems that I can see..any thoughts would be appreciated...the photo is with 7" rims front and 8"rims rear..thanks

I doubt it would cause a problem, but make sure by measuring and know how big a tire you are gonna run.

ulakovic22 · 11-17-2008, 02:27 PM

I don't think it will cause any problems either. If you wanted you could probably run a bigger rim than that. A quick way to guess would be to measure from the mounting pad to the frame rails. With no offset that should be your backspace.

I am wanting to run the tires I have now..275x60 rear and 255x60 front..thanks

ulakovic22 · 11-17-2008, 02:32 PM

That should work well and look really nice. The larger wheels will push out a 1/2 inch in front and an inch in back.

thirdstreettito · 11-17-2008, 02:38 PM

Most likely tires for an 8" wheel will not work for a 10" wheel. Just remember, measure twice, fit once.

I'm running stock 8" rallys with 275/60-15 BFG's all 'round. I would like to go bigger tho in back with 10" rally's but BFG doesn't make 305/60-15's in the Radial T/A so I'll wait until my other chassis is ready with a 17x8/18x10 stagger.

68gmc.. truck looks great...I will check with my tire guy but am hoping the 275/60 will work on the 10 inch rim..thanks to all

275/60R15 work with 10" wheels, that is what I am running all the way around on my '72 LWB GMC.

Here's my 15x10's with 5" BS. These are also 275/60-15's.
