1977 15x7 Wheels

Recently bought a ‘77 coupe. Found out driver front wheel has a crack…keep losing air in tire. Looking everywhere but cannot find 15x7 wheels. I was told the fronts are 15x7 and the rear wheels are 15x8. Can this model not use 15x8’s all around? Anyone know where to get 15x7’s

thank you!!!

15 x 8’s were used all around. The only C3’s that ever used 7” wheels were 68’s.

C3 aluminum wheels were never made in a 15x7 size. Not sure where you are getting your info.

Did you measure them? All YJ8 and N90 wheels should be 15x8.

If your looking at good used C3 aluminium wheels, they should all be the same size and offset. the only differences is how they were painted, or not.

You sure it’s a crack? Porosity was a problem when these wheels were manufactured and could be the cause of your leak.
if it is a crack it could likely be repaired by welding.
