1980 Checker Marathon Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1980 Checker Marathon uses a 5x120.65 bolt pattern shared across Base and Deluxe trims. The factory wheel is 15x6 with a 25mm offset. Both 15x6 and 15x6.5 widths bolt on directly, giving you modest sizing flexibility while maintaining the original stance and proportions that define this classic taxi.
A few critical fitment points: only the 5x120.65 bolt pattern will work—no exceptions on this platform. The hub sits 70.3mm from the wheel center, so if your wheel's bore exceeds that, use hub-centric rings to ensure a proper seat. Aggressive offsets or extra-wide setups risk contact with fenders and suspension, so stick with the compatible sizes we've listed to avoid costly rework.
Every wheel we stock for your Marathon is verified to bolt on and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. American Racing, US Mag 1PC, Performance Replicas, and Vision all offer fitments ready to ship.
