Default Specs for GM 1967 Rallye Wheel

I've got a couple of rims bent on my '66, the original rims are long gone and it has four Rallye type wheels (don't know if they're original or aftermarket) on the car. Two of them are bent and need replacing.

Does anybody have the factory specs for offset for the original 15 x 6 1967 Corvette Rallye wheel? I wanna stick with something as close to original as I can get, I run 205 75R15 tires and by staying close to original I know I won't run into any clearance problems.

Thanks for any info,

Ron

Ron,

I believe the correct 1967 rally wheel has a positive offset .060, (1/16").

Since the wheels are not original to the car anyway there are several wheels that have the same offset and dimensions as an original wheel and are much easer to find. A small DC code, B, FI or YS wheels will all be the same as an original big DC code wheel. They are 15 X 6 w 3 1/2 " backspace.

Thanks folks, I believe that's the information I was looking for. You're right in that they don't have to be original, I keep them covered with hubcaps anyhow! But I do want to stay as close to original dimensions as possible with them so as to avoid any conflicts with fiberglass or brake calipers!

Appreciate the information, I think I can find them locally. If not, I'll go looking beyond local . . . . . .

Ron
