Sintax Ive seen alot of rims like that. Probably has 10 lug holes so they only have to make one "rim center" or spider I think they're called. probably use the popular ford/dodge pattern and the chevy it sounds like.

Re: Rims and Tires 101
I found a set of early 80s diplomat cop car wheels .the ones with six holes (sorta like a monte carlo rally rim) theyre 15x7s .I run 245-70-15s on the back and 235-70-15s on the front. I painted them silver and the difference in handling over the 14x6s and 205-75-14s that my van had is awesome ..AND they look cool too!!lostwire wrote:Was I being too clever for my own good? Just looking for what wheels and tire combos you all are using. I'm hoping to upgrade to some Cragars in the not too distant future.

Re: Rims and Tires 101
Right on. Im about to get some "rally style" wheels made up for the rear of my van. Want to put taller tires on to offset the 3.55 gears. currently running 235/75r15's. I picked up some good 31/10.50r15's the other day. I'll probably be getting 7 or 8 inch wide 15' rims for those. I'll see in a week or so, once Ive done some measuring...and had another pay day.

I'm wearing some gray Chevy-type rally wheels now (15x7/4-1/4" backspace) that I'll soon be replacing. Bought them new a while back and they're in excellent shape. Let me know if they might interest you.
