Do stock 6 lug 15x7 wheels exist?
 
The kind that take dog dish hubcaps. I've seen a gazillion 15x6, and some 15x8, but do 15x7's exist, in the 6 lug pattern?

Look for a hubcap style wheel for the 73-87 blazers, burbs and 1/2 ton 4x4 trucks.
I have a couple in my parts stash.

I've seen many, but they are all 15x6. I've been through two fairly good sized junk yards, looking at hundreds of hubcap type rims, and never seen anything but 15x6, and 2 15x8's.

I don't think the wheels ever changed through '91.I've only seen the 6" & 8"

Here's what I have.
The first picture is a stock '68 6-lug wheel.
(The ones that won't work with disc brakes)

The second picture is a stock wheel taken from a mid 80's 4x4 blazer that had hubcaps.
It's a 15x7.
When I first saw these wheels, I thought they were the wider 15x8 steel wheels,... but they are only 15x7's.

The only way I know how to spot them at swap meets or junk yards,... is the 1/2" deeper lip around the center of the wheel.
(they measure 1-1/2" on the old wheels and 2" on the newer style)
They are also flat between the lug stud holes,... where the older wheels have a slight hump between each lug stud hole.
