8" rally's vs 9"
I have a complete set of 8" rally's for my 79 c10. I also have a pair of 9". Should I put the 9" rims in the back? Or stay with all 8"? This is a frame off show truck so not a daily driver. Will not need to completly rotate the tires. Will just swap them side to side from time to time. What do you guys think? About 375 hp. A posi may be in the future but nothing soon

Re: 8" rally's vs 9"
Did you measure overall width or inside width? 8in rallys are 9in overall width.

Re: 8" rally's vs 9"
Measure tire bead to bead. 8" rally wheels actually measure 8.5" out to out.

Re: 8" rally's vs 9"
No...people commonly measure out to out, when it should be bead to bead.
