another rally wheel question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Dapper Dan · 05-06-2009, 06:22 PM

Sorry if you all are getting tired of these questions. I found a set of rallys I like but the guy selling them is insisting they are 4.75 pattern. Did the 1979 trucks use 4.75 wheel?

This is the listing if you don't mind checking it out
http://york.craigslist.org/pts/1155251863.html.

They are about an hour away and I would rather not waste a trip. Thanks for your help

If they came off a fullsize truck (picture shows a truck rally) they are 5x5, no fullsize ever came with anything else.

he is measuring the bolt pattern wrong, he is going from center to center of lug opening, it should be center of lug opening to center between two adjacent lug openings

That's what I was thinking, just wanted some more opinions. I am going up tomorrow to get them thanks for the help guys

Dan that looks like a great buy, 4 complete for $50.

heavychevy79 · 05-06-2009, 10:57 PM

I've seen people say in their ad that the wheels are 8 lug or 10 lug when
they are dual bolt pattern 4 and 5 lug.
It's sad really, I wonder how some people can even dress themselves.

the only thing i'd say is they look like van wheels as they appear to be 7" wide. truck wheels are 8" wide. they'll fit and way worth $50 but are a little narrower. 88-98 truck ralleys also 7" wide

Some of the 88-98 rally wheels are 8" wide, they just have a different offset.

usmc_noma · 05-07-2009, 09:58 AM

that's a good buy there. there's a set near me that are rally's with tires for 250.

Van rallys are 6.5in wide with a 4in b/s, 7in truck rallys are 3 5/8 b/s...Great score no matter what they are.

Dapper Dan · 05-07-2009, 01:06 PM

Thanks for the help, I just got back with the wheels. Nothing in the ad was right they are 5x5 6.5 van rallys but I am still happy 4 rims, trim rings, and caps for $50. I am probably going to keep looking for two 15x8 for the rear and paint the wheels black. I have a thing for black and chrome. I just wish I had a friend with a field full of parts! Around here parts are usually overpriced or completely rusted

Congrats on the find. I found my set for $90 with rings, and caps. It took a while, and many trips looking at overpriced wheels to find these. A little paint, and they are ready to go. I hope to get tires on them tomorrow.
