1961 Buick Special Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1961 Buick Special requires a 5x120.65 bolt pattern, shared across Base and Deluxe trims. The factory setup runs 15x6 wheels at a 18 offset. You can step up to larger sizes like 15x6.5, 15x7, 15x8, or 16x7, all of which will bolt on without modification. Square fitment is your only option on this chassis.
Note that only 5x120.65 bolts will fit—no other pattern works here. The hub center bore measures 70.3 millimeters; if your chosen wheel has a larger bore, use hub-centric rings to ensure a safe, vibration-free fit. Aggressive offset or width choices can risk contact with fenders and suspension components, so verify fitment specs carefully before ordering.
Every wheel we stock for your Special is guaranteed to fit and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. American Racing, US Mag 1PC, Performance Replicas, Vision, and other quality brands in our inventory are ready to ship.
