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!

As far as I know, from 69 on, all wheels were 15x8.

Thank you for your quick response!

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.

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.

Thanks, all!
