1973 Checker Taxicab Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1973 Checker Taxicab rolls on a 5x120.65 bolt pattern with a stock wheel size of 15x6 and 25mm offset. You can fit either 15x6 or 15x6.5 wheels, both offering classic styling options that work well with this platform. The setup is square throughout, so matching front and rear wheel specs simplifies your build and keeps the look consistent.
Since your Checker uses the 5x120.65 bolt pattern exclusively, any wheel you choose must have that specific bolt circle. The center bore measures 70.3mm, so verify that your chosen wheels either match this bore or use hub-centric rings to ensure a proper fit. Aggressive offsets or unusually wide wheels risk interference with the fenders and suspension components, so stick within the compatible sizes listed to avoid clearance issues.
Every wheel we offer for your 1973 Checker Taxicab is verified to bolt on and ships free to the lower 48 states. American Racing, Ridler, Vision, and WELD Performance all have excellent in-stock options ready to ship.
