1968 Checker Marathon Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1968 Checker Marathon uses a 5x120.65 bolt pattern shared across the Base and Town Custom trims. The stock setup runs 15x6 wheels at a 25 offset. You can also fit 15x6.5 wheels, giving you modest sizing flexibility while maintaining the classic proportions this taxi icon demands. The fitment remains square across all four corners.
Only wheels with the 5x120.65 bolt pattern will mount safely on your Marathon. The 70.3mm hub-centric bore requires hub-centric rings if your chosen wheel's center bore runs larger. Because this vehicle's suspension geometry is particular to its era, avoid wheels significantly wider or more aggressive in offset than stock, as they risk rubbing against fenders or suspension components during turning and suspension travel.
Every wheel we list bolts directly to your Marathon and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. American Racing, Ridler, Vision, and WELD Performance are among the in-stock brands offering compatible fitments right now.
