Looking for a 15" wheel

[AJMBLAZER]

Looking for a 15" wheel that I can put a spare on. 15x8 Rally would be great but whatever you have works. Needs to be a stock wheel or an aftermarket with similar specs to the stockers.

15x8 had 4" of backspacing.

15x7 had 3.5" of backspacing.

I can make either work.

Cheap. Doesn't have to be pretty but not looking for a ball of rust. I can get brand new Cragar steelies with pretty paint for $46 plus shipping from Summit Racing.

Crap...imice and 76zimmer, your posts got eaten.

I got some from my K5 AJ, take a look at my thread, and if you need another pic let me know, if you can make it up here you can have a couple of em.
All I know is they are 15" 6 lug

 

[AJMBLAZER]

You don't really have any pics on your thread man. Any idea on the width? My buddy's wife is coming down in a few weeks so we might be able to make that work.

I have an original stock wheel u can have. Its excellent condition with original tire also excellent condition. Just pay shipping... only prob.... I live in So Cal .Look in wheel tire for sale section under my name for pic

Can you tell anything from these pics?

man those are some rough rallies!

man those are some rough rallies!

yeah, welcome to MICHIGAN

 

[AJMBLAZER]

Yeah.


I'll let you know man. May have just come up with a 285 for cheap so might just use my preexisting spare rim.

I have a spare 15x8 rally in great shape, but I cant beat $46 shipped

 

[AJMBLAZER]

I believe I have a line on a local 285 now...


...still...zim...ANY idea on the width? I forget if factory wheels get marked/stamped on the back or not.
Might not be bad to have a set of 15's kicking around for ****s and grins...

 

[mrwilliamsburg33]

So what did you find local?

 

[AJMBLAZER]

Guy on Kentucky Krawlers says he has two 285/75R16's. Myself and another guy in Georgetown might split the pair. Asked for clarification of exactly what he has.

Might still get some 15's from zim or where ever. Never know when I might stumble into another set of 33" Swampers for cheap.

 

[mrwilliamsburg33]

Are you just getting them for spares or what? I've been trying to follow your posts about all these tires and wheels and it's been a little confusing... haha. If you end up finding something that you think might fit my blazer, don't hesitate to let me know either

 

[AJMBLAZER]

The Blazer has 16" wheels on it right now. Chose that for the availability of tall but narrow tires with higher load ranges (D, E, etc). My spare is also a 16" rim.

Was looking at anything 33" tall but I already have those 16x8's. Anything for a 15" rim would require me to get 15x8's unless they came with rims that worked for my situation.
So this basically means I'm probably going to just get a new set of 33" tires for my 16" rims and this guy may have the correct size 16" spare.
Copy?

We need to figure out what gears you have. 3.08's + 33's + 700R4 = unhappy mrwilliamsburg's wallet.

 

[mrwilliamsburg33]

I just laughed out loud at work... haha. Hopefully once I get a better job these things won't be as painful.

 

[AJMBLAZER]

Well, rebuilding a transmission AND getting 10mpg would hurt no matter what.

 

[76zimmer]

Here's what I got AJ...pretty sure they are 8" by measuring front of the center section and back of it to the bead seat on the rim.

This is probably the best rim of the bunch:

I haven't checked them for being true either, I don't suspect any damage but can't confirm it.

 

[AJMBLAZER]

Okay. Will let you know. My buddy just reminded me of that powder coating guy he knows...wonder if he has Argent Silver...

 

[KansasTwister]

those are eight inch rallies.
