1978 Buick Opel Base Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1978 Buick Opel fastens to a 4x100 bolt pattern and rolls on 13-inch stock wheels measuring 5.5 inches wide with a 33-millimeter offset. You can also fit 13x6 wheels in the same offset, giving you modest width flexibility while keeping the classic proportions of your Opel intact. Both Base, Deluxe, and Sport trims share this exact fitment.
The 4x100 bolt pattern is specific to your vehicle, so verify any wheel you consider has this specification before purchase. Your hub demands a 57.1-millimeter center bore; if a wheel's bore exceeds this, use hub-centric rings to ensure a safe, centered fit. Aggressive offsets or significantly wider wheels risk rubbing against fenders and suspension components, so stick within the compatible sizes listed.
Every wheel we stock for your Opel bolts on correctly and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. Vors, Heritage Wheel, Work Wheels, Motegi Racing, MST Wheels, Petrol, Enkei, and Shift all offer options that fit your 1978 perfectly.
