Not 5 1/2 but sixes? I need one and have a "wanted ad" also.

Might I ask ask what models would come with 15 x 6?? what era C bodies?? Thanks all!
 
14x6 sbp/bbp rusted chrome steelies are all over fb and ebay all day everyday, in varying conditions of rust.

I post this all the time, it's an easy way to get 14" steelies dirt cheap.

I paid $40 for these sbp 14x6s.

Those are chrome reverse, I just went & measured My SBP one's at 6" wide, offset out & You have to flip the rim face down to mount the tires.
 
I also had a set of HD 15×6" LBP ones I ran w/beanies & trim rings, came from B-series van.
My '87 Dakota 2WD came with 14×6" LBP steelies.

Never understood the chrome reverse nomenclature.

I have painted Steelies with the same offset on another car, no one's saying, hey, nice looking painted reverse wheels ya' got there.

I had Cragars with the same offset as well, they weren't Cragar reverse.

I've seen the chrome reverse in different offsets, just picked up a set of 15x8 with a 4.25 offset, they must be a chrome reverse reverse.

I used my last 15 x 7 mopar wheels recently, out. I have a bunch of 14 x 5 and 5 1/2 and just the one 14 x6, that is why I am looking for just one of those. Very few on FeeBay and overpriced for their condition, never any singles.
Found just a single other day, it looked like it came from the Titanic. Worthless.

6 is as wide as I can go on the particular car.

The chrome reverse nomenclature has been misused over the years.
In the 60's it was popular to take a wheel remove the center, flip it and weld it back in. At a time when wheel options was limited you could get a different offset for bigger tirers.
They were often chromed because it was cool.

Now smoothies and just about any chrome steel wheel people call chrome reverse probably because the didn't know what it ment.

Those two are just chrome steelies, chromed reverse has the center reversed so the fat part of the barrel or 'hoop' faces OUT, & the valve stem hole is drilled on the 'normally back' side. As I explained in My post, You have to flip the rim valve stem DOWN to dismount/mount the tire, then back over to inflate it.

These are 14×6 chrome-reverse on the front of My Thunderbooger, in '86...had a set of 4, sold 2..these ended up on the back of the Killer6.....

@413 your box is full.
Anyways, I'm guessing You're talking LBP 14×6's, it was a short-lived option on the 1stGen Dakota 2WD...I can check if it was '87 only or not. I have the set, but shipping fron SW PA would hurt a bit.
*EDIT* Checking both of My '90's fittment guides show
14"×6" is std. 2WD for '87-'88.

Are you looking for a specific wheel from a specific year?

...or "just" a 14x6 or 15x6?

...in a certain offset?

14x5.5 was VERY common.

14x6 not so common until I want to say after 1972-ish.

15x6 not common at all until the mid 70's.

15x6 was "standard" on M body cars except 5th Ave, which got 15x7 except the spare, which was 15x6 and often swapped onto a corner at some point.

OP stated has a 14×6 already, & wants a match, but open to a pair of 15×6's.....sounds like 6" W fills up the space, but that's the limit, if so any offset diff is gonna matter a bunch.
 
IIRC most Mopar wheels of the same size, have the same offset, no matter steelies, rally wheels, magnums, etc.

I'm referring to the chrome reverse option, which is not the same. Those 6" wide ones had the 235/60HR14's grazing the wheel lips on the Killer6, they are in the shed, if I dig 'em out this weekend I'll post the exact dimensions.

I have 1 oem Mopar 14 x 6. Really rather find a mate to it, as shipping is enough 1 wheel. Like said, I believe any 70s oem steel Mopar wheel will have the same offset.
 
I think I actually have three 14x6 SBC steelies. I would be willing to sell one. All my stuff is from Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas.

Solid parts. Hell, I would sell all three, Split one and pair the other two.

The following tables include 14" x 6" and 15" x 6" Chrysler plain steel wheels. The listings may not cover every wheel instance, the application ranges are somewhat summarized, and there is application crossover in some areas, especially the earlier years. The 15" x 6.5" plain steel wheel replaced the use of the 15" x 6" plain wheel with expanded coverage in the mid-1970s. The Chrysler part numbers are references for each line item and is generally a supersede number for earlier numbers in the application range. Some of the early wheels inner curvature will not clear later stock disc brake calipers.

Thanks GOOD info!!
 
The Chrome-Reverse pictured in post#10 have a 3" backspacing, so they are .5" negative offset, 2.5" in & 3.5" out.
 
I notice the 1st gen Dak 2WD is notated for slightly different offset, they don't look it to Me but....
A little offset ( of an oem wheel) would not bother me anyway.
Measuring wheel height and width is measured bead to bead.

OK, so....I took the 14's off a looong time ago, & replaced them w/15"×7" steelies 2 F-M-J & 2 Ford(yes I had to turn the hub center open a bit) for the winters, & a set of Popo Rallys for the summers.
Dak 14"×6"s have a 4.75" Backspacing, so that's 4.25" in & 1.75" out, which is 1.25" positive offset.
Yes, I am aware of how rims are measured,.lol.......BUT..
for those who aren't, I dug one of My old fitment guides out last night 'cause I know there is some confusion;
