Here are a few pics of a 72 TA with 17x9 YR1 wheels.

Thanks for the pics. Again, looks just plain ole wrong on 70-73's.... Awesome on the 77 and ups!

[1980 TA]

I think they look awesome on a early bird. I would like to see them on a 68-72 GTO as well.

What size tires are you running? Tell us a little about your suspension as it looks lower than stock.

The look...awesome, great, et al.

What backspacing and tire sizing are you running?

[JC455]

I dig 'em on the early cars!
Imagine them w/ a body colored accent like a 73 T/A in red- or a black centered/fully polished one on a Brewster green 73 or an early model black Formula-- HOT!!

Any idea on the max rear tire size that we can use with the 17's. I think most answered the fronts, but not the rears. Thanks

I'll have to disagree with you. NOV8TR's 72 looks great!

[GTOLou]

They look great - not a flame, but the boat-anchor like weight is keeping me from pulling the trigger.

Has anyone weighed the 15x8's?

[Grand73Am]

Even though the 17's will of course weigh more, you should save some of that weight back, since the tires have less mass.

[jonmachota78]

the 15 x 8's are listed as having 4 1/4" backspacing.... Is this a typo? I'm pretty sure my factory 15 x 8 snowflakes have 4 3/4" backspacing. Do these repros have the same backspacing as the originals?

I weighed my 15x7 rally II's with 255/60/15 tires, and then weighed the 17x9 snowflakes with 255/50/17 tires and the snowflakes weighed 3 lbs more than the rally II's.

Discoquik,
Tazz2 is trying to build a 17X9.5 honeycomb. You may try to PM him. I'm really hoping for a 12" rear wheel for my minitubbed '76. If yearone can't do it, I say lets give the "little guy" a try. Not sure how far along he is, but I already told I'd like to be first is line for a 17X9.5 and a 17X12 (for a 335 tire).

For those 17" snowflake lovers, a 275-40ZR17 should fit no prob on a 17X9 rim. Go with a 245 or 255-50 up front on 17X8 rim.

This is what Tazz2 is working on. I say let's give him some support!

Tazz2, forgive me if I'm being too forward here. I really want to see this happen.

Thanks for the tip. Talked briefly, will be getting updates! Thanks!

Here's my 78 with the new rims, new paint, new engine. well, every part is new.

[1980 TA]

Here's some pics after I lowered the car 1 inch all the way around. I also got a chance to detail it and shoot the pics around noon so less problems with shadows.

That is one fine looking T/A!!

[stuta]

I should have said, both T/A's in the previous posts!
