1979 Buick Opel Base Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
The 1979 Buick Opel Base uses a 5x120.65 bolt pattern and comes standard with a 14x6 wheel at 11mm offset. You can upgrade to 14x7, or step up to 15-inch sizes including 15x6, 15x6.5, and 15x7 options. All compatible sizes share the same bolt pattern, so swapping between them is straightforward without special adapters.
Pay close attention to the 70.3mm hub-centric bore on your Opel. If your chosen wheel has a larger center bore, install hub-centric rings to ensure a proper fit and safe rotation. Wheels significantly wider or more aggressive than stock may interfere with fenders or suspension components, so verify fitment before purchasing if you're considering the outer edge of our size range.
