1968 Buick Special Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1968 Buick Special runs a 5x120.65 bolt pattern with a 70.3mm hub bore. The factory wheel is a 15x6 with an 18mm offset. You can step up to 15x6.5, 15x7, 15x8, or 16x7 while maintaining square fitment across all four corners. Each size adapts well to the Classic's stance without sacrificing authenticity or function.
Only wheels with a 5x120.65 bolt pattern will fit your Special. Make sure any wheel you choose has a center bore of at least 70.3mm—if it's larger, use hub-centric rings to maintain proper centering. Aggressive offset changes or wider wheel selections may contact the fender or suspension, so verify fitment before committing to extreme widths or stretch tire setups.
Every wheel we stock for your 1968 Buick Special bolts on securely and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. American Racing, US Mag 1PC, Ridler, and WELD Performance all carry in-stock options designed to suit your Classic's era and character.
