I am looking at a set of 15x10 8 lug steel wheels from summit racing, the description says they have 2.5" BS and they are reverse style. I like the fact that it has 2.5" BS but i have no idea what reverse style means. Will the valve stem be on the inside or outside of this wheel?
 
it means the the "bell" of the wheel is rev. and when you mint them you set them face down on the machine. It won't make a differance once there on the truck other then the fact that they should clear the brakes.
 
OK so you are saying I will have no problem clearing my D60 caliper? Summit is saying that on some aplication there may be brake interference with the wheel. I do not see how anyone could hit there brakes with a 2.5" BS. Also since the bell is reversed with the valve stem be on the outside (the side that used to be the inside)?
 
I have 2.75" BS "reverse" wheels on my Chevy D60.
- took about 30 seconds with a grinder on each caliper to make the wheels fit
- the valve stem should still be on the outside
- just remember to mount the tires from the back of the wheel
 
The main draw back of these wheels is if you ever want to run weld on beedlocks, it is going to be a b!tch to get the tires one.

Damn You beat me to it. Not only is it a B!tch , it is almost impossible. I have seen them on pirate , and the guy didn't know before he did it. Costly Mistake , for him .
