Re: rallie wheels backset
pretty sure a 958 Chevrolet Apache wasn't a 5 x 5" pattern ... I'm thinking it was 6 x 5.5"

Stock 58 1/2 ton 15" wheels had about 3-1/2" BS, and as Shane pointed out, those would have been 6 lug. If you have 5 lug rallies on there now, the best way to find out the BS would be to measure it.

Re: rallie wheels backset
Ok thanks alot just going to change my 3200 6 lug to a disc all round and need 5x5 rallie rims and just needed to know the backset so i can run the stock hubcaps on the 5 lugs.
3-1/2 BS sound right |

Ok, I admit I am slow sometimes. Please explain to me what is the connection between backspacing and hubcaps.
