Malo83 · 04-14-2007, 01:21 PM

Are the Rallyes 15x8's or 7's, what size are the tires?
Go for it

Srubydo1986 · 04-14-2007, 03:43 PM

id say yes for all new youll pay alot more. Im trying to buy the same from a friend for 50 buck all there.

75shortysocal · 04-14-2007, 03:45 PM

i should have asked him what size they are...lol... 15x ?

the tires look kinda small, i might need to swap tires with my sweet 5 stars....lol

Jonboy · 04-14-2007, 04:35 PM

Van rally wheels are 15x7.

Actually, they are marked as 15x6.5". I have 2 sets.

BaddBusa2005 · 04-14-2007, 06:16 PM

ummm how much are the gm 15x8's with evertything worth?

SCOTI · 04-14-2007, 07:38 PM

You can usually find them 'loaded' (w/trim rings & centers) for $50 each. Naked for 25~35$ each.

beaterC10 · 04-14-2007, 07:45 PM

I would have to disagree on these being a good buy. That would be a good price for 15X8 with good rings, centers, and tires, but seems a little pricey for 15X6.5

Agreed, 15X8's can be had for that money. I often see sets of four sell for $50-$250 locally. The ones in the picture are definitely not 8" wide.

75shortysocal · 04-14-2007, 10:58 PM

hmmmm they wont be inset would they?...i need them ridding the fender, not setting way into the fenderwell.....

im scared now...

i still need them, i cant stand seeing my truck with those nasty 5 stars... ill tell him 200 take it or leave it.

Curly86 · 04-15-2007, 09:44 AM

200 bucks is way too high i would check around some more i just bought 2 15x8 with beauty rings for $25 a piece check your local salvage yards

grinch4om · 04-15-2007, 09:48 AM

if the tires are good and you need them, jump on it. if you are looking to upgrade just cause, keep looking. on the other hand, if it is a deal to you and you are happy...

86swb · 04-15-2007, 10:27 PM

Those center rings just do not look right to me. 8" is the way to go too.

bigtruck81 · 04-16-2007, 02:23 AM

6 or 6.5" wheels for sure. i just paid $140 for a set of 8s with reasonable 235 75 15s to put on my 92.

i'd definitely look for a set of 8s, especially if you're lowering your truck.

86swb · 04-16-2007, 05:54 AM

235/75 R15s X 8" wide is what on my truck. I think these looks best on our trucks.

75shortysocal · 04-16-2007, 12:12 PM

got the wheels

15x8
225 / 70

Blackstone · 04-16-2007, 12:23 PM

Nice.... You did good!

Malo83 · 04-16-2007, 01:10 PM

Sheeeet!!!! wish I would have kept mine

, those look real nice

75shortysocal · 04-16-2007, 04:33 PM

looks weird...tires to small? or it just needs to be dropped?

225x70's are on it now.

Rc 415 · 04-16-2007, 04:40 PM

needs gravity to take hold of it

ElGracho · 04-16-2007, 05:47 PM

Yep, those tires are too small. You need at least a 255/70 R 15. They are within .1 inch of the 235 75 15's that came on these trucks so your speedo will still be accurate without switching the gears.

I really like the 275 60 15 look too, but it needs to go with a 2-4 or more drop.

75shortysocal · 04-16-2007, 06:35 PM

thank you sir..

if i understand correctly... 255/70 R 15 will be a perfect fit with my 4 1/2 x 5 drop ?
