68 Yenko Camaro rally wheel size.
 
Were the Pontiac Rally II wheels used on Yenko's in 68 14X6 or 15X6? I can't find a 15" wheel listed for 68, only 69 and up. Thanks

14x7...Thats why he used them. Chevrolet didn't have a 7" wheel in 68.

Do you have a code for that wheel? I can't find the 14X7 disc brake wheel code before 69 either. Thanks

There was no 14x7 available on the 68 Firebird or 68 GTO.
There was a 14 x 6 that fit disc brakes it is coded JA...

JC's won't clear 4 piston calipers on the 68's.

Re: 68 Yenko Camaro rally wheel size.
 
Is the offset different then the chevy 14x6? I know Don went with them for a reason..thought it was for the x-tra inch...maybe the inch was just in offset...Sorry!

Hello James
I have a JA because that is what I had heard was the correct wheel. It does clear the orig caliper upfront. Anyone have another JA? Thanks

Dana,
Check the Pontiac Boards under Firebird Parts and GTO Parts if nothing there post a wanted ad the JA's are on there quite frequently. Performance Years Forums
Also there could be 2 different JA stamps. There are 2 different JC stamps the 67-68 one uses a larger type font and the dates are inside the tire on the center bands. Then the 69 up which has a smaller JC stamp and the dates around the valve stem. I believe that the JA's follow the same pattern.

Good Luck... if you run into a couple of big letter JC's I could use them... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif
