Rally Wheel FAQ

Rallies, ralleys, rally's, rallys, rally wheels, ralley wheels, rallie wheels... Whatever you wanna call 'em and however you wanna spell it. These wheels, though never installed from the factory on '67-'72 era trucks, have managed to make their way onto a number of them and look just as at home here as they do on '73-'87 trucks.

This tutorial will focus on the three types of 5-on-5 lug patterned wheels that are available in the steel rally style, 6.5", 7", and the most common, 8" wide wheels. I am putting this together because I have seen questions frequently asked about them, recently needed some info myself and couldn't find solid answers, and just so happened to have a pair of each in my possession at the same time. There is a stamp on the inner surface of the hoop of each wheel that identifies it, but is not always accessible or legible, so I will detail some easy ways to identify the different sizes of wheels, as well as some other possibly useful information.

Pictured here is a 6.5"(L) and a 7"(R)
