Are these 15x7's? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**4th Gen C-10** · 02-15-2014, 07:38 PM

Getting ready to start pulling the truck apart and found these in the back of the bed. Are they 15x7's or something else?

67_C-30 · 02-15-2014, 07:42 PM

No, you measure inside to inside on the beads to get the width.

**special-K** · 02-15-2014, 08:05 PM

5.5" wide from pre-71

**4th Gen C-10** · 02-15-2014, 09:26 PM

So then are they considered 16x5.5's, 16.5x5.5's or 17x5.5's? Sorry for all of the questions but I am extremely new to this.

67_C-30 · 02-15-2014, 09:39 PM

Same thing on the OD - you measure the bead diameter. They appear to be standard 15 X 5.5's.

^ What he said. Also, many wheels have their dimensions stamped on the back side of the wheel.

Thanks for the education guys! I appreciate the help.

That's some nugget of information right there. I never knew that. That will sure save some head scratching at the swap meet when looking for disc brake compatible 6 lug wheels.

^^^ Ain't that the truth!! So simple now. They sure did us a favor,just had to figure it out on our own

**4th Gen C-10** · 02-16-2014, 02:12 PM

Any idea what I might be able to get for these if I decide to sell them?
