1978 Buick Regal Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1978 Buick Regal uses a 5x120.65 bolt pattern with a 70.3mm hub-centric center bore. The stock wheel is 14x6 with an 11mm offset. You can upgrade to 15, 16, 17, 18, or 19-inch diameters, staying within widths of 6 to 8 inches depending on size, all at that same 11mm offset without fitment issues.
The critical detail here is that only the 5x120.65 bolt pattern will fit your Regal—no other patterns work on this vehicle. If you select a wheel with a center bore larger than 70.3mm, you must use hub-centric rings to ensure proper centering. Avoid wheels with aggressive negative offsets or extreme widths that push the tire too far outside the fender, as that risks rubbing on the suspension or bodywork.
Every wheel offered for your 1978 Buick Regal is verified to bolt on and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. American Racing, US Mag 1PC, Ridler, and WELD Performance are among the respected brands we stock for this classic Buick fitment.
