4 Piston vs Later Single Piston Wheel Clearance
Hi Guys:
I was wondering if I should expect there to be any difference in the clearance I would get on 14X7 wheels between single and 4 piston calipers? Thanks to all that can help. Chemnick

The 4-piston calipers are generally known to have less clearance than the single-piston calipers.
Case in point - the 14X6" Hurst wheels will need a 1/4" or 5/16" wheel spacer when used with a '67-'68 4-piston disc brake setup, whereas a single-piston '69 -'72 disc brake setup clears with no spacer.

Thanks for the reply. I would assume the 14X7 Rally II wheels will be OK for sure with single piston disc brakes (front).

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.
