1965 Bonneville disc brake conversion
I'm hoping to buy a 1965 Bonneville that has had front disk brakes added. It has 15 inch American Racing rims with whitewall tires. I want to use stock 15 inch Pontiac rims and hubcaps, to be able to use the existing whitewalls, but I am concerned about the clearance of the calipers. Will any 15 inch Pontiac rim work? Thanks.

I use 15 inch Rally II's from a later big Pontiac. I don't see why you couldn't use a plain late rim.

I think it depends on the front disc brake kit used, but when I installed the Master Power's front disc kit on my '64 GP they told me that I had to use later (like at least '71) 15" wheels that were made for disc brake cars. I don't believe the early 15" wheels will work, even if they are 15s.

Thank you for your reply. It makes sense to use a wheel from a disc brake car.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
