Default 1973 Wheel specs

I have original rally wheels on my 1973 Corvette. The specs are 15x8, 4.00" back space, 2.75" center bore, I can't find any suppliers that have these specs. Most new wheels
on the market have 4.25" back space and a 3.21" center bore. Maybe the extra back space of .25" is not a problem but the center bore is almost .50 too large and that seems
like a big problem even if the mounting is lug centric. Can anyone shed some light on where to find a proper size wheel.

Are you looking for a different style of wheel, or replacing your current set with new rally's? Zip Corvette, and some of the other online retailers have a few alternatives and orig style rally's

You need Hub Centric Rings. Most aftermarket wheels are lug centric mounting. The factory Rally Wheels are hub centric. This is where I got mine for my TTII's.https://www.justforwheels.com/index....cat=hubcentric
