Trucks With 15x7 and 15x8 Ralleys and a 4/6 Drop - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

C10_ustacould · 08-11-2011, 06:12 PM

Anyone have pics of a truck with 15x7 (front) and 15x8 (rear) ralleys and a 4/6 drop. Going to pick up some wheels this weekend and I am curious if I want 15x8 all the way around or a staggered setup. Let's see them trucks!

Yep.... 4.5/6" running 6-lug 15x7's and 15x8's (235 75 R15's on all 4 corners) - not my tire choice, but with upgrading to 20's they would work.

I dont know if this will help you or not but on my stock height truck I'm running 15 X 8's with 255/70R15 tires on all four corners. If you didnt want to go to the expense of 18's, 20's etc. I think these rims and tires would work great with a 4/6 drop. I did a little calculating and the 235/75's on 72BLCKBUTY's truck are 28.86 inches high and the 255/70's on mine are 29.04 inches so with the bigger tires your trucks height would be virtually the same as 72BLCKBUTY's truck with a slighty wider footprint. With tire widths it seems a 1/2 or 3/4 of an inch makes a big difference in looks on our trucks.

The black 72 has about 4/6 drop, and has 7 and 8 inch rallys.

STP, could you post some more pics and specs of Krusty? I think I'm in love....

When I first had my '68 on the road I had 15x7 and 15x8 with 255/70-15 tires and it looked great and had a good ride too.
