guys, i need some information on the rallye rims. i believe that in the a-body cars, that 15" rallyes with 4.5" (?) backspace were used upto 1977. did buick in 1978 on these cars go to 14" rallyes only ? now what about the rallyes on lesabres in the 80's until 1985 ? does anyone know the specs on the rims - 15" , backspace, bolt pattern ? . did they use trim rings or colour-keyed rims ? my dad had a new lesabre in 1985 (last year rear wheel drive) with rallyes but i cannot remember what the rims looked like . tkx .
Gerry, here's a recent thread with some info to chew on.... http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?t=63192
derek: i am familiar with that thread. what i am asking for are the buick specs for the original rallye rims for those years post 1972 .
i looked at a set of 15" that had a date code of 1982 . i did not check the backspace but there were poor quality. needless to say, i passed on them.
My 79 LeSabre Turbo SportCoupe came with 15X6 wheels, they look really good, I will have to wait until tomorrow to check the backspace but you can see pictures of them in the for sale section here under 1979 LeSabre Dean
