Each ThreePiece.us selection ships free throughout the lower 48 states.
Upgrading your Continental's wheels opens up genuine possibilities without guesswork.

1988 Bentley Continental Base Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1988 Bentley Continental uses a 5x154.94 bolt pattern and rolls on 15x6.5 wheels with a 48-millimeter offset from the factory. You can step up to 16, 17, or 18-inch wheels across various widths—from 7.5 inches up to 9.5 inches on the largest diameter—while maintaining that classic British luxury stance and proper fitment.
Keep in mind this vehicle accepts only the 5x154.94 bolt pattern; any other configuration won't bolt on. The center bore measures 117.6 millimeters, so use hub-centric rings if your wheel's bore exceeds that size. While your Continental offers width flexibility up through those larger diameters, aggressive offset choices or unusually wide setups risk contact with fenders and suspension components, so moderate dimensions work best.
Every wheel we stock for your Continental is verified to fit and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. Browse our current selection to find the right classic or modern look for your Bentley.
