6.5" van Rally wheels
The 82 C10 I bought last year has four 6.5" van Rally wheels. I understand these are great to use for fender clearance on the front of a truck that's been lowered more than 2.5". If that's true, how much are they worth? I want to replace them with 7" or 8" Rally wheels, which move the tires outboard. The lowest I'll ever go in the front is 2.5".

Re: 6.5" van Rally wheels
What backspacing do those wheel have? I have no idea on value, but I'd be interested in a couple.

Re: 6.5" van Rally wheels
They're not worth anything more than the other truck ralleys. I see typical priced wheels from $15 - 40ea depending on condition.

This means the 6.5" outer rim edge is 7/8" farther inboard compared to the 7" wheel, in other words 7/8" more fender lip clearance with the same width tire.

It also had Brodix IK180 heads, and initially a 224/230 solid lifter cam. Eventually went from a 3.42 to a 3.08 axle for more comfortable cruising, and switched to a 204/208 hydraulic cam from Jones Cam Designs. The smaller cam produced a more streetable power band along more vacuum. And even though it probably cost me some horsepower at high RPMs, I rarely revved the thing above 5000, so never noticed it. Always wanted to build a screamer though. Maybe in a 62-65 Nova or early Camaro.
