Are there trim rings available that fit a 15 X 8 Rallye wheel, or do I have to live with an inch of gap with a 15 X 7 ?

Yeah, looked at Jeg's and Coker as well this morning, really didn't see anything definitive.. Yeah, I've bought 15X8 trim rings from Jegs, Wheel Vintiques, even JC Whitney! and a few other sources that looked promising for a factory looking trim ring, some were real nice, they just didn't fit on the rim....here's the factory 15X7 ring on Wheel Vintiques 15X8

Man, im not a fan of the gap. I always get rid of 14in rallye rims and the 8in wide 15s. Not sure id even like 8s if the trim ring fit. My friends say im a little different, lol.

I use the 15x6.5 trim rings on my front 15x7 wheels and the 15x7 trim rings on my 15x8 rear wheels at least the gap is the same

A little more drastic work-around...
You could run 5 1/4” backspacing and run a 1” spacer or a 2” overall wider rear end.
Wheel will look like a 15x7 from the side. That's what I did. I ordered 15x8 rallyes from Stockton Wheel in CA with 1" more backspacing than a stock 15x7. IIRC it was 5-1/4" like autoxcuda stated. I also moved my springs inboard about 3/4" per side for clearance. This gave the correct fit for the trim ring with no gap and the outside of the tire and wheel are in the stock location with a stock width rear housing.

They look identical. You don't get ugly until you go to a 10" stretch. Those look darn ugly.
I’m listening.
