Can I run 15/8 rally wheels from 70-80's Chevy 4x4 on my stock `58 Chevy 1/2 ton?

Yes. I have a set on my '55 1/2 ton. Depending on what year truck they came from, you may need to do some minor grinding in the center bore to allow them to fit. Later versions have 6 "tabs" in the bore that were for centering the wheel on the hub. Those will interfere with the hub on the older truck as it is slightly larger. You only need to take the tabs down to match the bore diameter. Also, you may want to remove the rivits on the front drums. They were an issue with mine.

30 x 9.50 x 15. Fills the wheelwells very nicely, but still plenty of clearance.
