Can anyone tell me if 6 lug 15 x 10 Rally wheels (off a 1970 Chevy 4X4) will fit a stock 1956 Chevy 3100??

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Thanks in advance for the help.

the bolt pattern will fit, but the backspace may not and you'll have clearance problems, especially with the tires rubbing the drag link on left turns

Back in the day, 1972, I install L60/15 on 8" wheels with 4" back space on the rear of my '56 3100. With any kind of load, 2-dirt bikes, the tires rubbed. In cornering they would rub the inner and outer wheel well in the rear. The truck was stock height.

I don't know how anyone could run 10" wheels and not have problems with out the truck looking weird.

The Chevy truck Rallye wheels, which were introduced in '73, only came in a 15x8, with a 3 1/2" backspace. That's what i'm running on mine, with a 30x9.50x15 tire, no rubbing or clearance issues at all.

Thanks for the feedback.

Longbox55----The Rally wheels that were introduced in '73-----what year did they run through?? I like the look and will be keeping my eyes open for a good used pair.

They ran to '87 on trucks, '91 on Blazer and Suburban. They're also still available new from Kelsey-Hayes. One thing to watch for on the later ones, they have 6 tabs in te center bore that interfere with the fit on the older truck hubs. They added them to make for a tighter fit on the 4x4 hub on the later trucks. They're not hard to grind out, though.
