1979 Buick Century Custom Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1979 Buick Century Custom bolts on with a 5x120.65 pattern. The factory setup runs 14x6 wheels at 11 offset. You can step up to 15-inch diameters or go wider within the same diameter—options range from 14x5.5 all the way to 15x8—without needing different offsets for front versus rear since this model runs square fitment throughout.
The 5x120.65 bolt pattern is exclusive to your Buick; no other pattern will work. Your hub measures 70.3mm, so use hub-centric rings if your new wheels have a larger bore. Pushing too wide or running aggressive offsets risks contact with fenders and suspension components, so stay within the compatible sizes we've listed to ensure safe clearance.
Every wheel we stock for your Century is verified to bolt on straight. All orders ship free to the lower 48 states. You'll find American Racing, Ridler, Vision, WELD Performance, and Forgestar options ready to ship.
