73-87 4x4 rims? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Dalaigh · 04-13-2012, 12:29 PM

I know that most trucks have 15x8 rallye wheels on them, but is there a base model rim for 1/2ton 4x4's? Something like a 15x6? Or were rallye's just what came on all 1/2ton's?

I'm only asking because I was thinking of doing the tall narrow tire look on my 1/2ton, and was hoping for a factory rim to do it with.

I'm going to run a set of rallye's as well, but for a different look I thought narrow pizza cutters would look cool.

Didn't vans come with 15x7's? It's not as narrow as a 15x6... But it's a bit closer.

Hey but I'm looking for a 4x4 rim, 6 bolt, the vans would've been the same as the 2wd trucks, 5 bolt.

For 1/2 ton 4 wheel drive they offered:

15x6 with 1/2" offset and 1/8" offset
15x8 rally
15x8 steel spoke (wagon wheel)
15x7 aluminum (8 big holes)

Does anyone have pics of the 15x6 rims? and what is the reason for the 3/8" difference in the two 15x6's

In the mid 70s you could spec the 1/2 tons with 6.50x16 tire....find a set of those and you will have your tall skinny wheel.......
