Default Rallye Wheels | Backspacing.

With regards to the 1968-1972 model rallye/rally/ralley wheels found in both 15x7 and 15x8 dimensions, does anyone know what the backspacing is for each?

I thought I had read somewhere that the 8's were available in 3.75" and 4.25" backspacing, but I could certainly be wrong. I have no idea about he 7's.

Anyone able to shed some light on this?

Signed,

Clueless in Colorado

BTW: I included all three spellings for the word rallye/rally/ralley, as I've seen it each way. Anyone know the official spelling? I'd simply like some piece of mind on this issue.

To the best of my knowledge, the factory 8" rallys had 4" of backspacing...

However, with so many aftermarket wheelmakers (Wheel Vintiques, Stockton Wheel, etc.) putting them together, you never know what you'll find out there.
