Super rare, 15x7 (6-lug) ralley wheels - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**lolife99** · 08-23-2009, 09:44 PM

Here they are,... for the truck owners that thought they didn't exist.

I purchased these 4 wheels this past weekend, at a Springfield, MO swap meet.
These are just like the normal 15x8 4x4 truck ralley wheels, (6-lug), except they are only 7" wide.
I was trying to find a set for member 72BlckButy to use on the front of his "newly lowered" '69 swb.

I couldn't believe it when I walked up and spotted them.
Two of them are already spoken for,... but I'm trying to decide if I should keep them or let them go.
These are great for you 63-70 guys that switch to disc brakes and want to keep your truck 6-lug up front.
These help reduce the added track width of the disc brake conversion.

I was so stoked, to actually find some,... I just had to post a pic.

You got that right!!!

I hope to have updates tonight.

may as well sell him the whole set, he'll have a hard time finding 2 more that have the same size/number of holes.

Nates running 8's on the back and 7's up front to help hide the track width issues of the disc brake conversion,... along with the "narrower" 67-70 rearend.

I get why he is doing it... I understood all that.
I guess I shoulda typed out "little square holes around the parimeter of the hub"... i kinda figured anyone would just take a glance at these wheels and see that they don't ,atch the typical rally wheel. Yours has 10 holes, mine has 16.

Verses

So, like I said, you may as weell consider selling the whole set to nate so his truck doesn't have mis matched lookin wheels

The 15x7's DO match the 15x8 6-lug ralleys,... so they won't be mis-matched.
They are a different wheel than your 5-lug ralleys.

What did these come on from the factory?

I believe they were on the early to mid 70's 4x4 gmc Jimmys . They are very hard to come by. Most people think they are 15x8's.

If you look at Nates (72BlckButy) "Blank Slate" thread in the 67-72 projects section,... you'll see how far the 15x8 ralleys stick outside the fenders after doing a disc brake swap and lowering the front.

I have a single that was the factory spare for a 76 truck. I think it was also listed on the spid, but the truck is long gone to check...

Well they weren't technically "outside" the fenders, but they were a little close for comfort. By running the 7's we were able to make sure they didn't rub while running down the road, and they gave that "tucked" look.

I put a set of 15 x 8.5 Centerline ConvoPros w/225-60-15 tires on a front disc conversion with bags and they never touched...the OUTER fender.

The backspace was probably 4.5" so it would be equal to a 15x8 rally. The top of the tire started in when the upper a-arm passed parallel and they tucked even with dropped spindles . I think the shorter tire from what 72BlckButy is running was the difference.

The height is most likely what the difference was. That 225-60 was only 25.6" tall.

Yep, I agree.

...although I don't remember any 6 lug vans. The 1/2 and 3/4 ton vans had five lug, and then the 1 ton van had eight lugs. I don't remember any factory 4x4 vans in that timeframe...

I could be wrong.
That's what I was told by the only guy that new what I was talking about, when I said "6-lug 15x7 ralley".
He was a wheel and hubcap guy from St. Louis.

DragRag · 08-23-2009, 10:31 PM

I have a set of these 6 lug rally wheels on my 69'. I didn't realize they were that hard to find.

tcb-1 · 08-24-2009, 07:12 AM

an early Christmas present for Nate?? great score Keith.

**special-K** · 08-24-2009, 07:55 AM

That`s a fake picture.Those aren`t real!!

Even alot of guys with 71/72s run 7" 5-lug rallyes up front when using drop spindles or to give a big/little look.i`m sure someone would kill for them.

70k52wd · 08-24-2009, 08:24 AM

Great find. A needle in a haystack. Keep the other two, they're so hard to find. You never know what the next project will need. OR, sell them to me.

tcb-1 · 08-24-2009, 12:58 PM

I'd buy the other two..... but 17" steelies are my future..... shhhhhh.

glad Keith found those for you Nate!

prostreetC-10 · 08-24-2009, 01:17 PM

Can't you have those built aftermarket. Isn't that the "C" rally? I'm not up on these types but I thought the aftermarket companies can build these in any width you want Like this company....

Stockton offers the 6-lug truck ralleys (4x4 ralleys is what they call them) in sizes that are great... well, for a 4x4; but not so great for a lowered truck.

The rare 7" truck ralleys have less width & still work on the discs while matching the easy to find 6-lug 4x4 8" ralleys.

stealthy '69 · 08-24-2009, 06:43 PM

Hey Keith,
If you can't find anyone to take those off your hands, let me know. I think the wife and I are due for another road trip. I think we'll even bring something to drink this time instead of drinking all of yours.

**71blksuper4x4** · 08-24-2009, 07:38 PM

Well, you got me. I walked right by them without noticing. Though, I did pick up some great truck parts, and kick myself for not buying those NOS Rocker Panels for $75 at 7:30 am. Trevor
