Rally Wheel Width
What is the width of the standard rally wheel? and where you you measure? Inside of the bead or outside? Pretty sure mine is 8". Considering Buying 10's for the rear and trying to figure out the backspacing.

Re: Rally Wheel Width
The truck rallys came in 7 and 8" widths. The 6 1/2" were available on the vans. The width is measured between the rim beads.

Re: Rally Wheel Width
That's what I figured. I measured with the tire on the rim, air out laying flat on the floor with a straight edge across the to and I got 9" with a 4 1/2 inch backspace. So I'm thinking a 10" wheel with a 5" backspace.

Re: Rally Wheel Width
Does a 265/70 stretch over a 10?

Also, on a GM 8" rally, you will see 15x8 JJ stamped somewhere on the wheel. This should help:

275/60's would get my vote. They look nice & square on a 10" wheel vs pinched slightly & the height remains close to OE.

Turns out BFG recommends 7.5" to 9.5" wheels. Go here and click on the "Specs" tab below the tire pictures. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....omCompare1=yes
