    Hi , i'm looking for Rally whells for my car but I don't know if 15''x7'' could fit because of the skirts , the car is actually on 15'' and there is only few inches left behind the skirts ,

    As i'm going to one of the biggest car show in Eastern Canada i'd like to buy some wheels in the flea market there (450 sellers) if I found some but which size

    Does anyone here has skirt too ? If yes what wheel size and tire you have ?

    Thanx for your time ! :cool:

    I ended up buying some nice 15'' Rallye Wheels (90 cdn$ each for 5 wheels), I do mesure the bolt patern which is 4 3/4 they came out of a 1976 Regal ....

    I hope they will fit now ! The caps are there but the shield's color are fading a bit ... i'll check for replacement caps later any idea of the price of cap ?

    What can be the smallest size for tire for those 15 x 7 ( I cannot have too large ) . I'd like some raised letters tire .

    Gotta wait another week to have them here and i'll try to post a pic or 2 with the "Rally look" :Brow:

    Wow, that looks really sharp!

    Are those redlines on there? What size did you end up running?

    Thanx James :)

    I finally stay with my 205/70/15 ... and with thoses Rallye Wheels (out of a 76 Regal : 5 x 4 3/4 patern) the tire don't rub anymore . So I would stay with that size .

    I don't know what you mean about the "redline" tough :confused:

    Redline refers to tires with redlines around the tire, instead of a white line like the whitewall tires have. It's hard to tell from your pic, but it looked a little like that's what you're running on there.

    Maybe you'll see better on this one ...

    That's kinda cool the red lines !:Brow:
    Do you know if they are about the same price of the raised letters or regular blackwalls ? At first I tought to buy BF Goodrich Radial T/A (or comparable) but I gotta to think it twice now that I've seen those .:cool:
