1979 Buick Electra 225 Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1979 Buick Electra 225, whether you own the 225, Limited, or Park Avenue trim, uses a 5x127 bolt pattern with a 70.3mm hub-centric bore. The factory wheel measures 15x7 with a 6mm offset. You can step up to 16-inch wheels in 7 or 7.5-inch widths, or go modern with 17-inch sizes in matching widths, all without special modifications needed.
Keep in mind that only the 5x127 bolt pattern will fit your Electra. If you choose a wheel with a center bore larger than 70.3mm, install hub-centric rings to ensure a proper fit. While this full-size Buick accommodates the range of compatible sizes listed, avoid excessively aggressive offsets or extreme widths beyond what's offered, as the classic suspension and fender clearances are limited.
All wheels fitting your Electra bolt on securely and ship free throughout the lower 48 states. We stock quality options from Black Rhino, Dirty Life, Fuel 1PC, Icon Alloys, and other trusted names—each verified to work with your car.
