Dumb question but will the 15 inch Rallyes fit the 71 Demon. I see a bunch of people getting the wrong sizes and reposting they need to sale. Hope this makes sense. Thanks

Don't hate me because i'm beautiful
Stock 15'' rallyes came in big bolt pattern only. (5 by 4 1/2'' bolt circle, 1/2'' wheel studs) If your Demon is stock, it will have small bolt pattern. (5 by 4'' bolt circle 7/16'' studs) You can get 14'' sbp rallyes modified in to 15''. Or some wheel companies like Stocton might have new ones to buy.
The sbp wheels also have a smaller register than bbp, that's the big hole in the center of the wheel that fits over the axle hub snugly, it's very important.
I hope this helps.

How can you do an easy fix? You can't find a decent tire in the 14in!!

Hello,
How would you mod a rim from 14 to 15 ?
To answer you question ..the easy answer is yes. These rims were made in both sbp or lbp..you just have to find them. After searching for a long time for a reasonable cost used set of 15s, I actually found a new set at a auto store for $ 79.00 a rim..a bit more for usd at the moment.
You can go to the pain of switching your hubs from sbp to a lbp or buy a set of the aluminium converters that will change you from sbp to lbp.
Since you no longer buy a decent sized of 4 inch tires, 15s are the way to go and quite frankly, it is truly a 70s look.
Cheers

Specialty wheels offer SBP 15x7 rallyes. They will fit in there with 275x50x15 or 275x60x15 tires. You can drill out the drums and put 1/2 inch studs for strength.

Hello all, I am currently switching from rallye wheels to steel wheel and I also have sbp wheels. I found it hard to find a set of affordable steel 14 inch wheels that are the wider wheel. I am staying with sbp because I don't want to deal with large bolt changeover. I did however find that Sam's Club carried some 14 inch tires. I'm going back with 205/70 14 BF Goodrich. Not the best tire but ok and they were 65.00 each before taxes Just my 2 cents. Jerry

That sounds very hard for a DIYer ..perhaps a machinest could do that..anu idea of the cost ?

I just when down to the local machinist and making whider wheels are no probs..they just cut the wheel in half and seld in a new section..I was actually going to do it with my mint rallyes but unfortunately, all 14 inch.
What i don't understand is why a 15 in rin needs different mexican hats..the blts are in the same place.
