Not sure about how to read the chart - looks like all the notations to the left of the Rallys are for steel wheels.
Does this mean rallys work with everything? |

Very interesting, did not realize Pontiac in '67 planned a 14x5 steel wheel to mate w 4 piston disc brakes. Would be interesting if such a Tempest or LeMans ever built, or this early printed chart, is another example of wishful thinking.
Examining the above... 14x6 steel wheels w the 6 by valve stem are '66 & 67 drum brake wheels, standard on GTO's & Sprint 6 equipped Tempest & LeMans. Not acquainted with '67 Firebird 14x6 steel wheels. HB are optional '67 14x6 A & F steel DISC wheels JA (big letter) first Rally II disc brake wheels. JC (big letter) first Rally II drum brake A & F wheels. For '68 model Firebirds, JC's were installed on factory disc brake cars, the Firebird usage 4 piston calipers are different contour than those caliper castings used on '67 -68 A-bodies.

I wouldn't say that this revised chart is "early" released 11-22-66 (Org. date 11-12-66).

Just to be the dumb question guy - Rally 1s work with all the brakes on the chart, correct?

In my experience, yes, all original (and even the older re-pop) 14 x 6 Rally I wheels fit the A body 4 piston calipers.
And just to be clear (and have that additional option if you're searching), the big letter JC 14 x 6 Rally II's WILL fit the 67 A body 4 piston caliper.

Thanks squidtone -
Do the rally 1s and repops also fit the later 11" '69-up discs? That's the current plan to execute if it works. Pretty sure they do, but once the money's down there's no refund. |

14x7 GM stamped steel wheels or the reproduced version work with '67 dual piston caliper and single piston caliper brakes.

I have a September 1966 build GTO with disc brakes. The original HB steel wheels fit perfectly. I have bought other steel wheels from disc brake equipped GTOs from later in the 1967 production and 1968 production. They will not fit my car. Only the HB wheels fit. I don't know about either Rally wheel.
