Ok the stock wheels on my 75 bird maybe getting a rest, so I am wondering what are the spec's? I think they are 7"but how much backspace? as I am running 255/60/15 on the rear and they are a bit close to the spring. So I need to know what backspace I need in an aftermarket wheel to maybe gain a little more clearance? or the sam but not less. Thanks, Jim

Speed up, Move over or get off the road!

15X7" Rallye II wheels have a 4-3/8" backspace.

Let's go racing!

About Us

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.
