Pic Request: Rally wheels on a dropped truck
 

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:

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

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.

Re: Pic Request: Rally wheels on a dropped truck
 

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

BFGs suck in the mud

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)

Heres mine bagged on rallies.

DZL1.

Re: Pic Request: Rally wheels on a dropped truck
 

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

Re: Pic Request: Rally wheels on a dropped truck
 

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????

Re: Pic Request: Rally wheels on a dropped truck
 

Mine same set-up you're wanting.

Re: Pic Request: Rally wheels on a dropped truck
 

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

Re: Pic Request: Rally wheels on a dropped truck
 

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

Re: Pic Request: Rally wheels on a dropped truck
 

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!

Re: Pic Request: Rally wheels on a dropped truck
 

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.

Re: Pic Request: Rally wheels on a dropped truck
 

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.

Re: Pic Request: Rally wheels on a dropped truck
 

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.

Re: Pic Request: Rally wheels on a dropped truck
 

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

Re: Pic Request: Rally wheels on a dropped truck

Re: Pic Request: Rally wheels on a dropped truck
 

7" wide on fronts and 9" rears.

Re: Pic Request: Rally wheels on a dropped truck
 

what size tires on those wheels chuckmc8?

Re: Pic Request: Rally wheels on a dropped truck
 

It was Krylon Charcoal(or dark grey) Mettalic from Wally world with a matching Krylon clear.I spent a couple hours cleaning with a wire wheel,scotch brite and foam sanding block.Then I went to town at the carwash with a degreaser and paid close attention to the seams where the center meets the hoop.I let them dry a day in the garage and an hour or so of sun to bring them to temp.I also set the can of paint in warm water for about 5 min before spraying.I used three coats on each wheel and then waited a couple days before spraying the clear.The directions on the can usually read either to recoat within x amount of time or wait at least 24 hours.
The prep is the key to getting the paint to stay.Degreasing 2-3 times is about the least I would try.Making sure they are dry and at the minimum temp for the paint is also important.
There's no magic to it just lots of grunt work prepping the wheels and some time.I do recommend lighter coats that just cover well since they seem to dry well and don't run.Don't get in a hurry to get the paint on all at once.
All of this is info I learned from hanging out here on the BB.Many don't like rattle can paint and if you don't take the same care with it that you would with a pro spray system then you will get crappy results.I have rattle canned these wheels and the interior of my truck.Both came out well and have lasted well.They wont win any shows but they sure look better than before.And to be honest you really can't tell that the wheels were rattle canned.
