Chevy 15X8 steel wheel ?

I am looking for two 15X8 factory steel wheels for a new project, I know some of the chevy wagons had these what other cars had these wheels with the 5 on 4 3/4 bolt pattern.

 

Corvettes. Rally Wheels. Awful.

 

my book only goes up to 75 but does not show anything wider than 7.

 

There may not be a 8" wheel but I was thinking there was maybe not.

 

I had some that were steel and about that wide, ages ago, but never knew what they came off from. Have never seen another pair. You might have to have them made up -

 

The Chevy trucks had 8" wheels. Theres a 15 x 8 steel wheel build thread on here that shows the process. You'd have to use those shells with some 4 3/4" centers or just buy some new ones ready to go.

 

Most of the full size wagons I know of had same 5" bolt pattern as pickup and both could have had 15x8. I am not sure of what year they started that.

 

I don't think Chevy ever had an 8" steel wheel, other than the rallye. I bought after- market for my '63 Biscayne so I could run the dogdish caps.

 

Wheel vintiques has them.

 

The 5" bolt pattern on Chevy full size cars started in 1971. The chevy car parts book does not list a 15x8, but they were used on trucks.

 

I have a set of 15x8 steel wheels (5x5) that came off my Chevy truck. I was just getting ready to put them in the cl***ifieds. PM me if interested.

 

2nd. gen. Monte Carlos have a 15 inch, 5 on 4-3/4" bolt pattern wheel that is like 7-1/2" wide. I buy them all the time and have them cut up which is what you can do.

Find a guy in your area that makes circle track wheels. These guys keep new "hoops" on hand in different widths. I give him 15" GM wheels, he cuts the centers out and turns them down to fit into the new hoop, trues and welds them up and I have custom 15"x14" steelies for my slicks for only $120.00 a pair out the door.

In your case you might be able to use the stock wheels as they are.

 

Chevy made a 15x7 steel wheel with a 5 lug 4 3/4 inch bolt pattern. Look beside the valve stem hole for "FN", "TJ" or "AE". I think the backspace is the same as the "FW" Monte Carlo ralley wheel.

 

I just went through this. Bottom line: Wheel Vintiques.

 

The 15X7 4-3/4 BC wheels are not that hard to find in junkyards that have cars back to the 70s as they were used on Chevy wagons and the "downsized" Bonnevilles, 88s, and LeSabres. They are relatively easy to spot just look for the wheel center being recessed into the drop center portion of the rim.
