1972 Checker Taxicab Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
The 1972 Checker Taxicab rolls on a 5x120.65 bolt pattern with a 15x6 wheel at 25mm offset from the factory. You can also fit 15x6.5 wheels on this classic cab, maintaining the same offset for proper handling and appearance. Both sizes work equally well since the vehicle isn't staggered, giving you flexibility in choosing your preferred look and handling characteristics.
When shopping for wheels, remember that only the 5x120.65 bolt pattern will fit your Checker. The hub-centric bore measures 70.3mm; if you select a wheel with a larger center bore, use hub-centric rings to ensure a safe, vibration-free fit. Aggressive offsets beyond the stock 25mm may risk rubbing against fenders or suspension components, so stick with conservative fitments for this vintage taxi.
Every wheel we list for your Checker is verified to bolt on perfectly and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. American Racing, Ridler, Vision, and Forgestar are among our in-stock options ready to ship to your door today.
