Topic: Was original wheel size 15 x 8 for 1976 aluminum slot wheels?
in Forum: C3 Body
Hello,
I tried searching for the answer to this on this forum before posting this question (as well as on Google), but did not see a hard and true answer. My '76 has the original aluminum slot wheels on it. Can anyone confirm that their size is in-fact 15 x 8 wheels, and not 15 x 7? They look like the ones at the following link:
I am looking to replace the wheels with a more modern-looking one, and want to confirm that the originals are 15 x 8. Thanks!

Since the rally wheels are 15 X 8, pretty sure the factory aluminum wheels are too. But you could check with the aftermarket and see.
1973 L-82 4 spd

Steel ralleys were standard. The slotted aluminum ones were optional in 76'.

15"x8" is correct. The set on my '74 are original from a '76, and they are 15"x8" and marked so. All of the rims from '69 up are 15"x8", steel or aluminuminum.
