Put my new rallyes on! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

67ss&99ss · 12-17-2009, 08:46 PM

Well I finally got a set of rallyes for my truck. It is still a work in progress but it made a big difference. I still have to get a set of trim rings for it. They are 15x10" wheel vintiques rallyes with 4.5" backspacing, and flat rallye caps.
The dust covers on the front kept the caps from sitting flush on the wheels. I went to the parts store and got some shallow dust caps, put them on, and tried fitting them again, but they was still hitting on the back of the caps. So, today I went to the local ace hardware, and got a 1 3/4" hole saw, then I took the tops off of the caps and cut holes in both front caps. I put the tops back on them, tried it again, and I got the clearance I needed.

I also got my swaybar installed with moog bushings. I haven't got a chance to drive it yet so I don't know how much the drivability has improved. I have access to a late 80s Z28 parts car that still has the rear sway bar on it. I'm thinking about picking it up and putting the rear bar on as well.

Anyway, here are some pictures.

I guess the next thing will be some new lenses all the way around, and getting all my lights working

I like the look!

68C15 · 12-18-2009, 07:46 AM

275's look real good on a 10" wheel. do they get hard to steer?

I like the wheels. I think they need a small narrow ring though.

**70cst** · 12-18-2009, 09:17 AM

Possibly. I don't want to lower it too much because I use it to haul stuff with from time to time.

RCbowtie69 · 12-18-2009, 08:34 PM

hey from N.C. looking good

67ss&99ss · 12-18-2009, 09:34 PM

thanks for the compliments everyone.

big mike71 · 12-18-2009, 11:14 PM

I like them they're just like mine.

unclewatts · 12-19-2009, 12:07 AM

I like those wheels. Gives a nice, clean look that goes well with our trucks.

**clay68c10** · 12-19-2009, 12:53 AM

Looks great! I'm running the same size tire on 8" truck rallys. Works great and steers fine also.
I wonder how some 88-98 truck skinny trim rings would look??

**NGN** · 12-19-2009, 01:24 AM

they look real good and i'm liking them without the trim ring also . maybe a line or two pin strips,? are they six lug ?

72swee'pea · 12-19-2009, 01:26 AM

always amazes me how wheels can really change the look,,,nice ride

yes, they are six lug. I plan to order a set of 8" rounded lip trim rings for them in the near future like these.

70jnktrk · 12-19-2009, 05:48 PM

Six luggers here also...10's and 8's....looking forward to see how your "rings" look,,
