you know most would disagree with me in the age of 20" and 22" wheels,but i still love the old 73-87 6 lug truck rallye's on these trucks.when i was growing up in the late 70's and early 80's they were the in thing at the time.also they were the only nice wheels that would fit because aftermarket 6 lug wheels in that era were hard to find.i think these wheels look like they were made for the 60-66 trucks.just my 2 cents.

I have several sets of the six lug Rallys on my trucks and I really like the way they look, also. In 1985, my Dad bought a brand new 1984 Chevy K1500 swb fleetside truck from the local dealership. He put a set of aftermarket wheels & tires on it and I became the proud owner of his take-offs. Here is a picture of my truck in zinc-chromate, 2-part epoxy aircraft primer in 1986 with the Rallys on it.

I also like the looks of the modern 8 lug Chevy truck wheels I put on my '66 Chevy C20 Custom Camper.

i'll play.........

here is my 64 with mid 70's K-5 rallies 235/60/15 fr and 26.5x8 Hossiers on rear

[badriv455]

Here's mine, '64 1/2T. I wanted the original style painted hub caps but even rough ones go for a fortune on ebay so I bought these mid 70's caps at a swap meet for $5 and painted them like the originals. Got $15 in them all done. Doesn't bother me because my trucks far from perfect. Just need taller tires now.

Here's mine with the new rims and tire......

Raceline Polished Renegade 5's ......17 X 8.5 with 4.75 backspacing
Michelin 245/65-17's all the way around...





The front is definitely getting lowered, probably 2 inches, and I also have lowering shackles for the rear.....

Anyone running 265/70/15 ?

10.8 section 10 tread 29.6 diam


It looks close to a 275/60/15, but 1.5" larger diam and had many more tires to chose from.

Radir 3 rib wheels. 15 inch. 7in wide in front, 8in wide in back (I think, I cant remember). I forget the offset.



31x10.5 R15 on the rear
205x75 R15 front






here it is with 205x75 15's all around, too small for my taste so I went with the large rears above.

[Russ65C10]

Rednose, that is sweet! That's exactly what I want to do with mine, except I am going to paint the wheels white.

[SIR]

ahhh the classics.....

[Oklahoma]

Nothing fancy, but I like them.

Hey Fella's, They're aftermarket smoothie steel wheels, these have the bumps around the center edge to hold the caps. Mine came from Early Wheel Co. but I believe Wheel Vintiques and maybe The Wheelsmith also carry them. They're all on the web if you do a search. Hope this helps.

[todds66]

What size tires are you running and what is the front and rear drop? Nice suburban

[astrochimp]

255/70R-15 Continental's on 8" wheels. Still at stock height.

[aerotruk63]

The way it came, well sort of! 16" x 9 1/5" ( Stock 16" wheels I widened ) with 255/55R16 all around. 4 1/2" backset if I remember correctly.
P.S. Stock look & original cap, never goes out of style!

[Rich1028]

are these the specs on your wheels?
16 x 6.5"

8 x 6.5"

Backspacing 4 7/8"

[SNTOS63]

15x7 painted smoothies w/ early 60s Buick caps & 205/70/15 thin white walls. I like 'em, but I want to get some 15x6 Supremes. All 60s old school for me!

[SNTOS63]

Check this out! I was running a vintage set of 15x7 Sprint slotted mags that I found at an old tire shop & cleaned & polished them up. Only used them for about six months & went back to painted smoothies and ww's.

[REDNOSE65]

15x10 Champ 500's... in the rear.
For now.
