TX WTB: 15x7 and 15x8 5 Lug Steel Wheels - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**cericd** · 08-07-2012, 07:46 PM

I'm looking for two of each, 5 lug 15x7 and 15x8 steel wheels that will accept dog dish hubcaps. I thought these were supposed to be easier to find than the 6 lug versions. Anyone?

The 15x8 5-lug wheels are SUPER hard to find.
Luckily Wheel Vintiques sells them.

Keith is correct about them being hard to find. I was told by a old wheel gut that the 15x 8s steelies came on 73-76ish 2wd blazers. Something like that. I have bought used ones from him before. He also said the 15x7s come on the big cars with 5 on 5 bolt pattern that he is supposed to have me some stashed. The stock 71-72 steel wheel is a 6 or 6.5 width. I think. Thats what i have and they look to skinny to me with the 8s on back. Thats why i want the 7s.
Hope this helps.

Thanks guys! Does anyone know what the spacing on the factory 15X8 wheels is?

Anyone got any of the 7's or 8's for sale?

I don't believe the 5-lug 8" wheels were factory. The factory never mixed wheel sizes on trucks.
