1979 Buick Century Custom Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1979 Buick Century Custom rolls on a 5x120.65 bolt pattern with a 70.3mm center bore. The factory setup runs 15x6 wheels at 18mm offset. You can step up to 15x6.5, 15x7, 15x8, or 16x7 sizes while maintaining compatibility across the Custom, Limited, Special, and Sport trims—all non-staggered configurations.
Only wheels with a 5x120.65 bolt pattern will fit this Buick; no exceptions for other specifications. Make sure any wheel's center bore measures 70.3mm, or use hub-centric rings if it's larger. Aggressive offsets beyond stock can risk suspension or fender contact, so stick with proven fitments when upgrading your wheel width.
Every wheel we stock for your Century bolts on securely and ships free to the lower 48 states. American Racing, Vision, Ridler, and WELD Performance are among the quality brands we have in inventory ready to transform your classic Buick's stance.
