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.
