Looking at a set of American Racing Nitro AR647 rims to go on to the 83 Stepside. Rims are discontinued so a little hard to find info on them. Owner says they are 5x5 and originally on a 71 Buick Lesabre. Center caps bore is 3.27" and if I'm correct, the 15x7's are a -6mm offset, or 15x8 with a -19mm offset. Anybody running the -19mm offset and any issues? Or if anybody has seen these on a truck and has pics, it would be appreciated.

OE is like 15x7 0 offset iirc. But just measure the new size compared to what’s on it.
The 6 wides are basically same as oe. The 8s might be a bit tight in the outside on the front @ -19.

Apologies to the backspacing police here, lol. I was speaking offset… hahahaha

Thanks! Figured the -6 would be pretty close in comparison to the stock rallys. The -19-s I think would be a bit too close to the inner fender. Just waiting on the guy with them to get back to me on whether they're the 15x7 or 15x8's. These rims are cheaper than what it's going to cost me to buy and ship the beauty rings.
