Help identifying this rally

On first look I thought it was a 15x8 but it's measuring around 10" from the bead. Backspacing looks to be around 4.5" which is more confusing. I may need to pull off the tire to get a better measurement, but for now can anyone help?

Re: Help identifying this rally

get a 5 gallon paint stick and cut it to the wheel inside diameter
do the same on other side.
measure distance between sticks


Scrap 2x4 can also be used of on hand

Just a rough estimate from sticking a tape measure through the wheel-bore. It could very well be 8" but with the tire on, it's tough to measure.

I'll give this a try.

Any insight from the cap screws? Seems the classic 15x8 rally wheels have 3 screw holes for the center cap.

Re: Help identifying this rally

It's a 15x8 4wd wheel. If you look only three of the holes are threaded for the caps. Don't know why they had the extra holes but they come in handy if the old ones are stripped out. The holes should be 5/16-18 threads.
