15" rally rings?

I have a set of 15X8 5 lug rally wheels. My question is do they take a 15X2 1/2" rally ring or a 15X3" What is the correct rally ring for a 15X8 rim. thanks Rick

I know they make them - I have them on my pickup - I think I got them from Wheelsmith in SoCal.

Re: 15" rally rings?

you can use either ring as none are correct cause they never had rally rims back in the day

Re: 15" rally rings?

I converted my 67 to 5 lug and used the 3" rally rings on the 15X8 wheels and the rings fit but cover the wheel too much. They looked great on the 6 lug rally's but I thing the 2 1/2 deep ones will look better. As you can see the 3" ones cover too much of the 5 lug wheel.

I agree, the 3-inch rings cover up too much of the wheel. I purchased these at a swap meet for $20.

Re: 15" rally rings?

My wheels are van wheels and only 7 inch. The trim ring will fit on an 8 inch wide wheel.

70shortstep, they are modified stock caps with different tops.
