Rallies inside out - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Just curious as to if anyone has turned their rallies inside out... Would the brakes hit the wheels? I'm intrigued..

Bishops Trucks · 07-10-2012, 07:18 PM

I have to ask: Why on earth would you do that?

Beyond me lol, I was just working on my truck when the thought popped in my head.

i am so curious now!

Car'n'Guitars · 07-10-2012, 07:50 PM

Pretty positive the brakes would rub the rims.

Car'n'Guitars · 07-10-2012, 07:55 PM

Also not really trying to take over the thread, but how can you tell if these rallies are aftermarket or factory/oem rims.

All my factory rally's have the year stamped on them. Mine all say 1984.

You'd have to revise the lug nut seats by countersinking them (to add the angle cut) - if you were going to actually drive it.

Okay I was just looking at one set of rallies from my truck and around the valve stem it says 12(valve stem)13 DAB. What does that mean?

buffle · 07-11-2012, 06:00 PM

I think it means they will only function in the normal way.

What do you mean by that?

WarBeard · 07-11-2012, 10:27 PM

You couldn't even get the wheel close enough to the hub to bolt it on Backwards.

Well I was wondering if he was answering my question or the other question.

Those are date codes and broadcast codes from the wheel manufacturer.

Okay so do those two codes specifically mean?

Billett · 07-12-2012, 10:14 AM

no idea but it wouldn't work. Even if you could get it on, the lip around the lug nut holes are designed to keep the lug nut from loosening. Putting it on backwards would have the opposite effect, not to mention the fact that instead of a flat surface against the hub you would have a gap because of the lips which would probably dig into it.

xs-style · 07-12-2012, 11:00 AM

I like threads like this. Reminds me of half my conversations with local friends..... 'wonder if we can make it work this way' - 'no ya goof. A b & c are wrong. Where'd ya come up with that idea.'

I dont understand why you would even want to bolt a wheel on backwards. The back side is ugly. If your trying to get a deep dish then get a wider wheel.

Billett · 07-13-2012, 08:33 AM

I only know because I thought about it myself haha. I recently bought a set of late model silverado rallies with tires because they were so cheap, but the offset was all wrong, so I thought about flipping them around, but even a quick look at it tells you that the lip around the holes that the lugs bolt to would be the only contact point with the rotors so no bueno...

slinginrods · 07-13-2012, 07:42 PM

Stop the thread now! It's already way too long.get real.
