what size rallys for the front

[blown 78]

im looking to get some corvette rallys. i have 15 x 8 on the back and am looking at 15 x 6 for the front. they come in either 3.5bs or 4. what one would look the best on a 85 monte? also what tire would you suggest? im thinking about a 255 or a 275 for the back. thanks for the help

On my malibu`s I like a 26 inch tall tire on the front so i run 215/65/15 .The malibu`s have 15X7 rims. My El camino has 15X8 inch rim on the front with 215/65/15 tire.

I'd run the 15x6s w/ 3.5"bs with 205/70/15's (26.3") on them, and 15x8's w/ 275/60/15's (28") on the back. Thats what my Chevelle has in my sig, except my fronts are 7's not 6's

If I want to run 15x7 rallys on the front of my Monte SS what backspace will I need ? I might have a line on a set of wheels. I'll know if the guy will sell them tomorrow. The wheels are on a 70 or 71 Chevelle right now. 15x8s on the back and 15x7s on the front. No sense buying them if they wont fit my car though. Im assuming the rears will fit. I dont even know what backspace they have.

id say 4 to 4.5 not exacly sure though

 

[Mike]

Which question is that the answer to ? Front or back ??

The rears should be 4 inch b.s. if they are 15x8's. Not sure what backspace on the 7 inch fronts, but they should fit easily. I say buy them.

The backspace on my 15x7 rallys is 4 and with a 235/60/15 there is no rubbing except at full lock intering my driveway, it barley kisses the frame.
