1981 Buick Century Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1981 Buick Century rolls on a 5x120.65 bolt pattern with a 70.3mm center bore. The factory setup runs 14x6 wheels at 11mm offset. You can step up through 14x6.5, 14x7, then move to 15-inch sizes like 15x7, 15x7.5, or 15x8. Sixteen-inch options including 16x7, 16x7.5, and 16x8 also fit this classic without sacrifice.
Since your Century accepts only the 5x120.65 bolt pattern, verify any wheel matches that spec exactly. All wheels ordered here use hub-centric rings when needed to match your 70.3mm bore perfectly. Aggressive offsets or wider widths risk contact with fenders and suspension, so stick within the compatible sizes listed to keep your classic running clean.
Every wheel we stock for your Century bolts on securely and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. American Racing, Vision, Ridler, and WELD Performance all have fitments ready to order today.
