1978 Buick Century Custom Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1978 Buick Century Custom uses a 5x120.65 bolt pattern and comes stock with a 14x6 wheel at 11mm offset. You can upgrade to larger sizes ranging from 14x6 up to 16x8, giving you flexibility in both diameter and width. Since this model isn't staggered, front and rear wheels match, so your choice depends purely on the look and handling you prefer.
Pay close attention to the 70.3mm hub-centric bore when shopping—if your wheel's center bore exceeds this, use hub-centric rings to ensure a proper fit. The 5x120.65 bolt pattern is specific to your Century, so verify any wheel matches this exactly. Going significantly wider or running aggressive offsets risks rubbing against fenders and suspension components, so stick within the compatible sizes listed.
Every wheel we offer for your Century bolts on correctly and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. Check out our in-stock selection from American Racing, Ridler, Vision, WELD Performance, and others—all verified to fit your classic Buick perfectly.
