I just picked up an 86 C-10 rcsb and was wondering if the wheels are 15x7 or 15x8? Are there any special markings I can look for, the tire size that came on the truck are 235/70 15......thanks

It's a used 1986 truck. Just because it might of came w/8" truck ralleys doesn't mean it still has them. People are known to change things around. Post up a pic of the wheels to get a definitive answer.

There are also the less common 7" ralleys as well as 6.5's from vans. Then there are aftermarket sizes too....

My daughters's 82 came with 7" ralleys from the factory. As mentioned, trucks could be 7 or 8 inch wide, depending on how it was ordered. Van's had the 6.5" ralleys. This is all for the 5 lug ralleys. Far as I know the 4wd (6 lug) ralleys only came in 8 inch wide. As mentioned aftermarket lets you get a few more widths and diameters that what came from the factory. From what I have seen, the non-silverado models tended to have the 7" ralleys. That's just my experience. AS mentioned, who the heck knows if those are original to the truck or not.

I would say those are 8" from the depth of the trim ring.

This is what the 7" ones looked like.

Ok thank you guys! Gonna be dropping the truck soon and wanted to make sure I could fit a 275/60 tire on the rear.

To be sure, you can always take a wheel off & measure. Measure from the mounting pad to the back edge & then again to the front edge. Add the dimensions together & subtract 1" (~.500" for each bead).

I was looking all over the wheels last night, i did see an 8 stamped on the outside by the valve stem but not sure if that has anything to do with it.
