Pic Request: Rally wheels on a dropped truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

longorange68 · 08-03-2009, 08:05 PM

Got some overtime money burning a hole in my pocket, and was wondering whether it should go to replace a sliding glass door, or some new tires. Already know my vote...

Looking to put some BFG T/A type tires on my 68 longbox with a set of Chevy 6 lug rally wheels. My truck has an ECE 3.5-5 inch drop with 2.5 inch spindles up front. Anyone running this out there? How does it look?

longorange68, check out my build thread in my signature for more info on the truck. My truck is currently running a set of 15x8's w/ 235 75 R15's on all for corners, and sporting a 4.5/6" ECE drop kit with 6-lug disc brake upgrade. Here's a quick shot:

My drop was the same as the yours in this pic. Hope this helps you out... EDIT ^^^Man is that truck beautiful and so much cooler

**mikey531** · 08-03-2009, 08:27 PM

this is mine

prostreetC-10 · 08-03-2009, 09:00 PM

Quit thinking truck and think CAR!!!

I think these Corvette ralls wheels rock on these trucks. Here they are on one of our board member's '68. Just look at how tough they look!!!!

P.S. He tells me that these are 6 lug rallys too.

lol

Dingfodgy · 08-03-2009, 10:32 PM

I'm totally down with prostreetc10- 'Vette style ralley's are much cleaner looking if you ask me!

I have the oem 6 lug truck ralleys and will stick with them, they run true and will not rust.

Longhorn Man · 08-03-2009, 11:15 PM

not a fan of car rallys myself... but the truck rallys look nice on these rigs...

BFGs suck in the mud

beer run?

there's plenty that look better, but these give a stock vibe, while looking good, and look better than the hubcaps that are usually found on them (or lack of caps)

DZL1 · 08-03-2009, 11:48 PM

Heres mine bagged on rallies.

BCOWANWHEELS · 08-04-2009, 01:09 AM

Heres my 72 ( p.s. i DID NOT PRIME THOSE SPOTS, TK. CAME THAT WAY )

darkhorse970 · 08-04-2009, 04:55 AM

Dingfodgy, do you have any more pics of that truck? i am thinking about painting my '68 step in that same paint scheme.

Or anyone else have pics of a silver 67-72 with white grill and top????

PanelDeland · 08-04-2009, 07:58 PM

Mine same set-up you're wanting.

PanelDeland · 08-04-2009, 08:05 PM

Here's mine with Rallies and BFG's.235/70-15 front 255/70-15 rear.It's not a PU but should give you an idea.I did the Rallies in a dark Charcoal Mettalic.
BTW the drop is 2 1/2-4

**mikey531** · 08-04-2009, 08:14 PM

I was thinking of painting mine darker, they look great on your truck PanelDeland. What brand of paint was it ?

Dingfodgy · 08-04-2009, 09:05 PM

Unfortunately, no I do not have any additonal photos. I keep this one around as a source of inspiration for my '67 SWB project. I really dig the silver and while combo and will most likely use these colors on my ride!

longorange68 · 08-04-2009, 10:11 PM

Beautiful trucks!!! Thanks for coming through with photos.

How would a set of 275/60R15's look on the rear end? My tranny mechanical speedo is set up for 28 inch tires and would rather not change it if I didn't have to.

ChevLoRay · 08-04-2009, 10:26 PM

Here's mine before it was disassembled for body/paint. Front wheels are 8 -inches wide; rears are 10. Front dropped 2.5 inches and rear is dropped 4. Front tires are 245-60 T/A's. Rears are 275-60 T/A's. Wheels are from Wheel Vintique Vette-style rallye, with 6-lugs holding each one on.

BCOWANWHEELS · 08-05-2009, 01:16 AM

IMO 275/60-15 ON THE REAR AND 255/60-15'S ON THE FRONT IS WHAT I,AM RUNNING NOW and imo the only way they look good is to have truck lower alot. i,ll try to post some pic,s. of my blue & white truck asap so you can see. there small diameter and you,ll have alot of wheel well showing if you dont drop tk. alot. the photo of my truck above has 70 series on it.

68Stepbed · 08-05-2009, 07:06 AM

Here's 275/60/15 rear and 255/60/15 front with a 3.5/5 drop.

70k52wd · 08-05-2009, 08:56 AM

275/60 at rear with 8in rally, front is 215/70 with 6.5 rally.

70k52wd · 08-05-2009, 09:04 AM

Here I have 235/60 at front w/8in rim, rear is 255/60 8in rim. Truck is bagged. Trim at rear is 3in, front trim is 1.5in.

Here is my 71....with a 4"/6" ece drop. I have pondered with switching to more modern rims, but I have gotten quite a few compliments for sticking with the Rally's.
