Rally Wheel Size
I am looking to purchase a second set of Rally wheels. Tire size on my 1977 is: P225 / 70 / R15. I have not changed tires yet to measure so my question is. What is the correct bead seat 8" or 7" for the Rally wheel?
Also, any recommendations on where to purchase?
Thanks

Try the Parts For Sale section here on the forum. Be aware some of the reproduction rally wheels are foreign made. You should have no problems finding good, used, correct AZ coded Corvette wheels. If correct dates are important to you, keep shopping until you find a set in the date range you want.

I'm riding around with the same tire set up.
BF Goodrich RWL 225/70/15R.
7" rims in the front, 8" rims in the rear.
Why, cause somebody set it up that way in the 80's.
Tire wear has been normal.
Mine is a '68.
Previous owner may have been worried about rubbing the frame up front when in a full lock turn years ago?
I have no problems.
8" rims much easier to find.
