Are 15 inch Buick Rallye wheels from different years, also different in model (externality) or mate (backspace)?

Because, i can buy 2 nice Rallye wheels from someone and in the future i want to buy ever also 2 Rallye wheels.
So i don't want to see differences on the wheels if they sit on my car.

If there are differences, from which years are Rallye wheels precise the same?

Thanks!

I don't know a lot ,but what I have found out is that Rally wheels off a disc brake front will not fit onto some of the the drum brake models.
Someone on this forum is sure to confirm or offer more advice. :TU:

The first step can be wider depending on the year.

How bout vice versa-drum brake rims onto a disc brake car?

Steve, I think that would be OK. I have on loan a 15 X 7 off an early 70s Electra disc brake model ( I believe all models 1971 on had disc ) that I'm trying to maybe fit up to my 1954.
Anyway the owner of wheel was going to put onto his 1970 wagon but it having a big finned drum , the wheel would not fit over it.
I would still like to hear from someone with expert knowledge on this subject post a clarification.

Cheers, Ken. 1954 76R
