rallye question for you 73 and up guys

are there any 15x8 5 lug rallye`s that have the same offset as the 6 lug 4x4 rallye`s that came with this era trucks? in other words, im looking for 5 lugs that are as deep as the 6 lugs

Is the offset not the same on both? I always thought they were but maybe I haven,t paid that much attention

no the 5 lugs are shallower. I was disappointed to learn that. I like the look of the deeper dish.

Top pic is a 6-lug 15x8. Bottom pic is a 5-lug 15x8.

They are both wearing the same 3" trim rings. The 6-lug does look a little deeper from the inside edge of the trim ring.

yup thats exactly what I am converting from/to. I like the look of the deeper 6 luggers but I just converted my 67 to 5 lug. I t still doesnt look bad though right?. . . right?

That top pic is of them on my 68. I eventually cut some black vinyl to cover the 4x4 decal. Then I replaced them with chrome Vette rallys.

Wheel Vintuques has them in 5x5 bolt circle, 15x8 and 15x10, and in 4", 4.5" and 5" back spacing.
