NEED SOME WHEEL HELP!


I am having trouble finding rims for my 1964 Bonneville. It presently has mismatced 14" rims and I would like to go to at least to 15" rims. The bolt pattern is 5x4.75. What cars came with this patern? Can anyone help?

Are you sure on the bolt pattern? I am thinking it's 5 X 5. 5 X 4 3/4 is what Canadian Pontiacs used in the 60's and those wheels don't fit the US Pontiacs.

5 X 5 fits 71 and up full size GM cars, at least until 1977. After that, some of them use that or the smaller pattern.

You are correct - centre to centre is 4 3/4" and outside hole to centre is 5". Does this bolt pattern fit other brands of cars?

         I have been around rims in a tire shop for 40 years   never measured a rim that way confuse    sounds like a 5 on 5 bolt circle (note its called a bolt circle)

         Carl is correct    big B-Bodies are 5-5 from 71 to 76    same rim as Chevy pickup from 73-98

I have a set of Pontiac rally II that are 5 x 5 bolt circle, 15 x 7 . I pulled them off a early 70's Pontiac. I currently have them bolted to a Chevy van.

I'm just north of PA,  not sure what your looking for in wheel design.....

mine look similar to this..

Easy way to measure the diameter of a 5 stud wheel is from the outside edge of one stud, to the middle of an opposing stud.

Carl is correct on the size. I think Buick and Caddy, both 15" also fit if I remember.

I've seen the round plastic bolt pattern template/gauges also.
