    Is there a difference between the steel rally wheels that came on caprices vs the ones that came on the OBS trucks? I have a set of steelies on my truck, and I want to put a wider tire on them (255/60-15). I've seen this work on Caprice steel wheels, but will it work on the truck steelies?

    255/60/15 will work fine. I run 275/60s on my stock 15x7s on one of my trucks and they have no problem. Have even seen 295/50s on stock wheels without a problem. Caprice steelies tuck in more (have more backspacing).
