1979 Buick Riviera Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1979 Buick Riviera uses a 5x120.65 bolt pattern with a 70.3mm hub-centric center bore. The factory wheel is 14x6 with a 40mm offset. You can fit 14x6, 15x6, 15x6.5, 15x7, 16x6.5, 16x7, or 17x7—all non-staggered setups that bolt on cleanly without modification.
Watch for wheels with a bore larger than 70.3mm; use hub-centric rings to ensure proper centering and vibration-free operation. The 5x120.65 pattern is specific to your Riviera, so verify bolt pattern before ordering. Aggressive offsets and wider widths risk suspension and fender contact, so stay conservative with your sizing choices.
Every wheel we ship has been verified to fit your Riviera and arrives free in the lower 48 states. American Racing, Ridler, Vision, and WELD Performance all stock fitments for your classic Buick right now.
