6.5 Van Rallies

Is there anywhere one could buy a set of the 15x6.5 van rallies "off the shelf"?

I picked up a set of 15x8 truck rallies and I'm not too sure I want to keep trimming away at the LCA to get them to fit. I'd really like to find a set of 6.5's and be done w/ it, but I came up skunk on Craig's List.

Just wondering if anyone has had any luck w/ Brother's, LMC, etc.

Re: 6.5 Van Rallies

The van ralleys have the same backspace as the 15x8 wheels.
(4" bs)
You need a set of 15x7 wheels.
They have a 3-5/8 bs.

You will need to find used wheels.
Wheel Vintiques makes their Series 42 wheel (replica of the truck ralley), but they only come in 15x8 and 15x10.

Crap.

I ground on my LCA's enough to get them to fit. It's just makes my butt pucker doing that. They spin in my driveway okay, I just haven't road tested them yet.
