6.5" van rally's
 

I have a 69 gmc and need to know if 6.5" van rally's will fit in front if using 2 1/2" drop spindles? Thought i remember hearing there was possible issues with this. thanks

If you have an issue, it will likely be a matter of trimming the outer edge of the lower A-arm or clearance.....longhorn:chevy:

Edit:crazy longhorn types faster than me. Ha

They have a 4" backspace just like the 15x8 rally wheels.
You might have to trim the lower a-arm on both sides of the lower balljoint.
No big deal.
10 minutes per side with a grinder and a cut-off wheel.

would any modifications be required if i find 15 x 7 rally's and use those instead?

Re: 6.5" van rally's
 

i have 6.5" van rallies mounted on Early Classic Ent. 2 1/2" drop spindles and it's also on air bags with NO rubbing issues and NO trimming.

Re: 6.5" van rally's
 

7" rally wheels WILL rub with 2.5" spindles. Different back spacing than the 8" or the 6.5" wheel

Re: 6.5" van rally's
 

15x7's have a 3-5/8" backspace.
I still trim the a-arms so all wheels will fit.

Depending on how bulky the spindle castings are, some people even have to clearance the outer tie rod arm of the spindle..
