    Thanks, will look forward to pics; I assume I'm first in line...

    Also, willing to defer to Joe Riv on the adaptors, as I would just resell those, if you want to separate as he suggests.

    Thanks again in advance,
    Steve.

    They made 15x7 in the 80's, mostly originally found on Estate Wagons and Electra/LeSabres w/ certain drivetrain components.

    15 x 7" 5x5 were used on Estate Wagons till they brought out the newer style aluminum mags - not sure about the Electras.
    '80 and up LeSabres had the smaller 15 x 6" 5x4.75 bolt pattern. I tried fitting a set of '71 15 x 6" 5x5 ralleys to my '80 LeSabre, and just like Cinderella's slipper, they fidn't dit ! :TU:

    I believe you could have the 15x7 5x5 on Estate Wagons through the '80's, and they ran concurrently as options with the aluminum whls. Also, not sure but I think if you had certain trans/rear end in the Electra/LeSabre (such as a posi) you got 5x5, whereas if you had the standard one-legger LeSabre, you got the 5x4.75 found on the a-bodies.

    According to your photo, those are 15x6; the dimension that's important is the "inside diameter", ie the distance from bead to bead. What you've shown as 7" there is the outside diameter, which on a 7" wheel would actually be about 8".

    I assume that they are all the same? If so, they don't fit the bill for me.

    Thanks anyway, but I'll pass. Good luck!

    If you provide the wheel codes, it will solve a lot of the confusion. Then interested parties will know wheel style (there are at least 5 for the 15x6 wheels), size, and year.

    ok the adapters are 1" wide, paid $200 for them new 3-4 yrs ago and were only used for about 2,000miles. Reason they came off with the wheels is because he found some 20" wheels that he liked, So the adapters worked great. Make me an offer on these.

    I scraped the wheel and got a code to see if that helps
