1979 Buick Opel Base Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1979 Buick Opel bolts on with a 4x100 pattern and rides stock on 13x5.5 wheels at a 33-millimeter offset. Both Base and Deluxe trims share this fitment. You can step up to 13x6 as your only compatible upgrade, keeping the same bolt pattern and offset spec for proper clearance and handling balance.
The 4x100 bolt pattern is specific to your Opel, so verify any wheel matches this standard before purchase. Your hub measures 57.1 millimeters; if a wheel's center bore exceeds that, use hub-centric rings to ensure a safe, vibration-free fit. Wider or more aggressive offsets risk contact with your fenders and suspension, so stick to the stock offset range to avoid costly rubs.
Every wheel we list for your Opel is verified to bolt on and ships free across the lower 48 states. Vors, Enkei, Motegi Racing, and Shift all have models in stock that fit your application right now.
