1978 Buick Skylark Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1978 Buick Skylark uses a 5x120.65 bolt pattern with a 70.3mm hub-centric bore. The stock setup runs 14x6 wheels at 11mm offset. You can safely fit 15-inch and 16-inch wheels in widths from 6 to 7 inches, or step up to 17x7 if you prefer a more modern stance while maintaining proper fitment.
Pay attention to the 5x120.65 bolt pattern—no other pattern will work on this Skylark. Since your wheel's center bore must match the 70.3mm hub-centric specification, use hub-centric rings if your chosen wheel has a larger bore. Avoid wheels with aggressive negative offsets or excessive widths, as they risk rubbing the fenders or suspension components during turns and over bumps.
