AG vs. YH Rally Wheel Offset???
 
Hello,

I have two YH rally wheels on the rear and 2 AG rally wheels on the front.
Does anyone know if the offset is different on these wheels?
Or where can I get that kind of information?
The AG's came on 68 corvettes from what I am finding and the YH are of course for a 69 Z28.


While looking down the side of the car I do not want one wheel sticking out further than the other wheel. If it does then I of course want the ones that sticks out on the rear.
Right now I can not tell visually. But maybe someone else out there would notice.

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks,

Anthony

Thanks,

If this helps,Colvin says the AG has a negative.28 offset,while the YH has just a .30 offset.

"Colvin says the AG has a negative.28 offset,while the YH has just a .30 offset."

Does that mean the AG's will be tucked in the fender wells .2 more than the YH's? So the YH will stick out a hair more than the AG's?

Thanks for the help!

I had a couple of AG's a while back that I traded, and I believe they will stick out farther, rather than be tucked in more. If you are not concerned with correct stampings, you should be able to find some later FW wheels cheap (if some crook hasn't already restamped them as YH wheels). I believe they are the same offset.

I don't have a book to check but what about DC. I thought they were the same as YH also.

DC is a 15X6 w/.06 offset,compared to the YH 15X7 w/.30 offset.

Thanks Rick I am only going off the top of my head which is not great any more. DC's we use on the big chevs and I remember using a camaro or vette rim also. Like I said I don't have a book maybe it was YS not YH, is YS a 15 x6 same as a DC

Well 1/2 of the mind is OK. I remembered the Y part.
Thanks Buddy

I will eventually find two more date coded YH wheels to match my other 3, but for now these are going to be just fine....just want to make sure I have the ones that will stick out in the back!


thanks for the help!

They won't look right. AG uses a 8" trim ring. Just pick up some FW's in the meantime....

Kurt,

These AG wheels have been on this car for 30 years. Visually you can not tell one difference. I am putting new tires on the car this weekend and was wanting to know if I should put the AG's in the rear or YH's in the rear. Looks like I will be leaving it alone with the YH's in the rear and the AG's in the front. (dang, now I am getting confuses...) Or maybe it does not matter one bit. Hmmmm, not sure....
Oh, what is a FW?

Re: AG vs. YH Rally Wheel Offset???
 
are the AG's 15x8?

Re: AG vs. YH Rally Wheel Offset???
 
AG's are the stuff, they used to be like hens teeth, we ran them on the front as like the guys said they will barely let a 15x8 trim ring on, put some 15x8's on the back and with the wide trim rings and state patrol caps a guy has a clean and mean look and no buzzing from the front, https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

No, AG's are the 68 15x7 negative offset wheel.
If you look at the wheel, the area where the trim ring goes looks wider.

If they are not rubbing and they look OK, run 'em.

FW are the same as YH, just newer and they are everywhere and cheap.

Re: AG vs. YH Rally Wheel Offset???
 
Great info!
But I still need to know if I need to run the AG's in the rear or in the front?????
Which wheel is going to stick out (towards the outside) that .2 further????

Oh, I looked last night. The AG's are currently in the front with the YH's in the rear. I am putting new GY Wide Treads tomorrow and I want to make sure I put the right set of wheels in the rear...

Thanks,

Anthony

--------Anthony,,,I know a bit about these two wheels that may help. I have tried to use both on 65/67 Corvettes to gain an extra inch of wheel width and despite what has been said about what the books say about offset I think its more like an inch difference or close to it. I have tried to install the 68 Vette style on earlier Vettes and had interference problems with the outer wheel lip. The YH wheels on the other hand gave me about an inch of clearance. Use the AGs on the back of your ride........Bill S

Re: AG vs. YH Rally Wheel Offset???
 
Perfect, thanks for the info Bill!
I will eventually pick up two more YH's. But for now I can live with the AG's in the rear. Heck, I can not tell a difference. But there is a slighly wider gap between the beuty ring and the center of the wheel if comparing to the YH's. Its only noticable after talking with folks on here.....

Thanks again!
