15x7 rallye wheel identification

[skyphix]

Is there an easy way to determine whether a small bolt pattern Rallye wheel is 15x7 short of measuring it?

Were there even small bolt pattern 15x6 wheels rendering this a dumb question?

Eric ,there are only 15x7 small bolt pattern wheels for our cars they did not make 15x6 wheels they did how ever make 15x7 wheels for the big cars but you can tell the difference because the face of it is stamed out one piece. I hope this helps.

Thanks Engie,
Ive got a set here that I was restoring over the summer. Was just doing some thinking and figured I'd better be sure that they were actually 15x7.

Don't know if that could help but the full size patern is 5 x 5 and the "small cars " is 5 x 4 3/4 .

for a 5 bolts wheels you mesure the outside edge of the #1 hole to the middle of the #3 hole (if you see it like a star or a clock) You should have 4 3/4 inches between those mesurement . The 7'' is across of course

Thanks everyone:

I know they are small bolt pattern because I had them mounted but the tires were too far gone, so I took them off. I guess that means that they are 15x7. Thanks :grin:
