Howdy!
Does anyone have the YEARONE 17x9" or 19x9.5" wheels on a Gen II?
What was your decision-making process?
Is your car lowered at all?
What issues, if any, and what tire sizes?
I am trying to decide which way to go.
Thank you,
The Old Guy
Does anyone try Year One 17x9 snowflakes on a 70-73 lowered Gen II?
What size tires did you use?
What clearance or other issues were there?
Thank You !!

VSE Roll Bar installed in 1978 Fire Am built using a 1973 body and 1971 455 HO engine.
The original Herb Adams-supplied Corbeau GT seats and harnesses have been replaced with modern seating that can recline new harnesses.
Still own this car today.
Does anyone know of a Registry or owners group, etc., dedicated to following the Herb Adams Fire Ams and the 8 Fire Am race cars built by Cars & Concepts?
Any other Fire Am owners out here?

It never aligned well when it was new 40 years ago, but it was a race car at the time, and weight savings was the objective; cosmetics were not a high priority.

Just wondering how rare this might be.
Thanks!
