How do you like the Nitto's? Decent traction/treadwear/handling? What width rims are you using?
Thanks, Mike

Someone has to have pics of these wheels on a 66-67 A-body by now right?

Why wouldn't Year one outfit these wheels on every Pontiac they can find and have pics laying around for customers? It would seem like a good sales move?

I wonder if those are 45 or 50 series tires? They seem short and don't quite fill the wheel well.

Figures I'd mention that I have run the 17x9 Rally II's for around a year now and haven't have an issue until I went to lower the car three inches last weekend. The fronts rub with 255's on the front. Guess I'll guy the inner fender and roll the out ones.

I have the 17x9 Rally wheels on my Gramma's 75 Firebird with stock suspension. We have owned the car since new. I am running 275x40ZR17 tires. The car has too much wheel well and not enough rubber with the 40 profile tires. I wish I had ordered 50 series tires instead. Anyone wanna trade rubber? (I also wish I had the 17" honeycombs but I won these rims from Year One so I cant complain).
Here's a couple photos: |

Tires are 235/45/17 and 275/40/17.

It has a Heidts complete front subframe and 4 Link with Ford 9in in the rear. The car is lowered about 2 inch over all. There is much discussion about aftermarket subframes over the past few years. I got a great deal on the stuff and the quality is great and have had no problems.

Here is some pictures I finally got around to taking. Bring it to an alignment shop in the morning. Just moving under it own power today. Needs to be raised just a little in the front also.

Anyone have success with these wheels on a 66-67 a body? There's a pic on the YOne website of a 67 vert but I'd like to hear from someone with their experience. I may want these on my 66 vert.
My car needs complete suspension so at this point if I'm gonna do it..... |

I tried to fit 235/55/17 wheels for my 69 GTO with unpleasant results: they won't fit in the front (I can't turn the wheels more than maybe 20 degrees).
The rims are YearOne Rally II 17x8 with 4 1/2 backspacing. Y1 says that 245/45/17 should fit but I'd like to have a bit higher profile because of the look. It feels weird to have smaller tire diameter (25.7" vs. 26.4") while switching from 14" rims to 17" wheels. Has anybody been luckier than I? Has someone been able to to fit larger than 245/45/17 front tire in a 69 GTO? Another issue: there was discussion on the thread size with the Y1 17" Rally IIs. What is the final consensus: should I change the threads for longer ones or use the ET lugs? Or just go with the lug nuts that came with the Y1 wheel set? |

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.
