I'm thinking about trying the Yearone 17" rallye's. Does anyone know what will for sure work with stock suspension on a 71 Cuda? Looks like stock is 4.25. They are offering a set with 17x8 w/4.25 and 17x9 w5.0 backspace. Will these clear the springs? Thanks

Yes. They will clear. Got it on my Challenger and seen others on Cudas. Nice wheels but not the lightest. Cast not forged.

 :iagree:  Pretty sure they fit no problem.  And I think Year One is good about taking them back if they are still new and you have a problem.   :alan2cents:

Year One 17x8 245/45 front and 17x9 275/40 rear. Stock suspension.
You have to look close but the wheels are there.  :perfect10:

I'm running 275/40 17s with 5" BS front and rear and Nitto NT05 tires. No issues at all. My only regret is I cant lower the front ride height where I want it because of the headers and low profile tires. The price of performance.

I like original wheels but these wheels really make it for me as well. I'm pretty sure I'll try a set next time.

Don't forget the offset too.  It took me awile to get it figured out before ordering my AR Magnum 500 style wheels.  :pullinghair:

Too bad Year One doesn't offer 18 inch ralley wheels. There is a much wider selection of tires available.
