they are the most awsome wheels can't wait for the tires and center caps to get hear. had a really hard time finding the proper tire heigh and width and it looks like 255/50/17 rears and 245/45/17 fronts was going to put 17x 9s on back but after measuring everythink i couldnt see how to get them under there. granted i have rear wheel disc on our 70 6pk cuda but they just wont fit. i wander if anyone else could get them under there. can you guys who received these wheels from yearone beleave the way they were shipped. and all the protection they took to prevent damage. cutos to yearone.

I'm putting the 9" on the rear. I'm waiting for the rain to stop so I can roll the car onto the driveway to mount up. Saturday is supposed to warm and dry.

It is good to hear they were shipped well; I'm lucky enough to live less that a half-hour from Year One so I picked them up Monday on my lunch hour.

The front 17x8 with a 245/40-17 is 51.5 lbs.
The rear 17x9 with a 275-40-17 is 55.9 lbs

The bottom pictures are when I was test fitting for some 3-piece racing wheels. (They were way too expensive to pursue though) There should be room to spare with a 9" rear. Although I don't know how the disc brakes on the rear change things...

Here are some photos on the car
No fit issues at all.

Looks great.. Iam trying to fit a taller rear tire under the cuda. The 255/50/17 s for rear are 27.1 " tall. I have 18's on my roadrunner and the are 295/40 or 45 and there 28" in tall. Trying to get the old look like we use to get when we use to put G 60 15's and they were a tall back then.

I tried to find some taller tires as well. There just aren't many out there. When I finally found one for the rear, there was not a matching front...

Ya i searched and searched and i wanted the nito 555's but nobody in our area had them they were going to have to be mailed and was going to have to pay shipping. So the only other ones i could find was the nexen 7000 so i hope they look good. The front tires were in town but the back ones were in tennessee but they were able to get them on a truck and now shipping cost. All is good.

A taller tire defeats the purpose. Larger wheels were designed so that a tire with less (shorter) side wall could be run on a car. Less side wall means less flex and better handling when compared to a 15 inch wheel and tire combination that is the same overall height and width.

Thanks for posting the pics. I have wanted to see the new wheels on a car.

Nice

Nice

yes dont get me wrong i think your car and wheels and tire combo looks awsome. iam building a show car and dont really care about handling and trying a different look. not saying its right or wrong. just different. and i do aggree that a shorter sidewall does give better handling. beleave me these cars never handled very good back then and they can use all the help they can get.
you have a nice ride.

Try driving a GM sub-framed car, if you don't think the Mopars handled well! Talk about squishy.

I like these wheels, I must say. They look more like the originals, unlike a lot of the billet things that have been on the market for a while.

Hi guys,

it`s an older thread, but seems the right thread to ask my questions:

a) do these 17" yearone rallye-wheels have any technical specifications casted or stamped into them, like rim dimensions, offset/backspace, max. load?

b) any mods necessary for running the 17x9`s yearone-rallyes in the FRONT and BACK?

Appreciate any infos and/or close-up photos very much!

Update: finally ordered a set...looking forward to their arrival.

 

[challenger6pak]

Post some pics of your car with the wheels.

 

[TobiasM]

Sure, might take some time, but will do so!

Here's the magnums on an rt if anyone was wondering

 

[fk5aar]

With 555 on them, not the best angle but. Look awesome and I sure hope they handle a lot better. Car came w 14" magnums from factory
