Wheel width question??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

woody96 · 03-30-2005, 08:24 PM

OK, need some opinions.....I have found some rally wheels in both 15x7 and in 15x8....which wheel would look the best with 275/60-15 tires?? Would the 15x7 have the sidewall pushed out too much making it look kinda like a big doughnet??

Opinions??

15x7 dont look right with anything wide at all, most have 235/75s on them or smaller car type tires.

I run 15x8 rallys and 275 60r 15 in the rear of my 78. On the front 235 60r 15 in the front due to rubbing(4/6 drop).
