I believe your rallys are car rallys. Or Corvette/Camaro style rallys. I believe there is a difference from those as far as sizings and back spacings. Notice the cut outs compared to the others in the above pics.

It's had to tell from your photos, but your measurements may be correct. But if they are the 15X7 on the front, they aren't that rare because yours are the aftermarket "corvette, camaro, monte, ect." styled ralleys. On a side note, that's a prety good looking truck you got there. I like the color.
