1979 Buick Regal Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1979 Buick Regal rolls on a 5x120.65 bolt pattern with a 70.3 mm hub bore. Stock equipment is a 14x6 wheel at 11 mm offset. You can step up through 15-, 16-, 17-, 18-, or 19-inch diameters, choosing widths from 6 to 8 inches depending on size. Since fitment is square, any combination across those options will work with your Regal's suspension.
Stay mindful that only the 5x120.65 bolt pattern unlocks compatibility—other patterns won't seat. Your wheels need hub-centric rings if their bore measures larger than 70.3 mm, ensuring they center properly on the hub. Aggressive offsets or very wide wheel combinations risk contacting your fenders or suspension components, so moderate your setup within the available range.
Every wheel we offer for your Regal is verified to bolt on and ships free to the lower 48 states. American Racing, US Mag 1PC, Forgestar, and WELD Performance are among the quality brands we keep in stock that fit your application.
