Okay, I know, more questions about rallye wheels... Anyway, can anyone help me definitively ID what these wheels came on? Stamped on them are: 15x6, L Y 853 USA A M1 7

I know they're 15x6" and may have come from a Riviera, but don't know the year. I bought them as extras for my '71 LeSabre, but the offset appears to be wrong. Any and all info would be welcome. Thanks.

Posted it to the AACA General page... oops.

I can't decode, but Buick Rallye wheels were either a 5 x 5" or 5 x 4 3/4" bolt pattern - that will tell you if it is full size or intermediate car application.

I've never quite known for sure, but I presume the measurements are to the center of the bolt holes.

I have a PDF of a Bugle article that outlines the changes made through the years to Buick Rallye wheels.

853: 15x 6 (5x5) 4th design: '67-'70. Center cap diameter 2'' Backspace is 3 3/8''
For a 71 and later you need 895

Thanks alot. I speculated that the "7" at the bottom of triangle meant 1967, and that would correlate. Any idea if these were ANY full-size, or specific to a model??? Thanks.

My guess is these would be for a full sized model. The intermediates usually ran with a 14" wheel.....again this is just a guess.
