1978 Chevrolet Chevette Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1978 Chevrolet Chevette, whether Base or Scooter trim, uses a 4x100 bolt pattern. The factory wheel is a 13x5 with a 40mm offset. You can upgrade to 14x6, 15-inch, or even 16-inch widths up to 7 inches—15x6, 15x6.5, 15x7, 16x6.5, and 16x7 are all compatible. Since your Chevette isn't staggered, any of these sizes work equally well all around.
All compatible wheels must have a 4x100 bolt pattern to fit securely. Your hub's center bore measures 57.1mm; use hub-centric rings if you choose a wheel with a larger bore to maintain proper centering and balance. Going wider or running aggressive offsets risks contact with the fenders and suspension, so stay within the listed sizes to avoid interference.
Every wheel we list for your Chevette bolts on perfectly and qualifies for free shipping throughout the lower 48 states. In stock now are options from Vors, Heritage Wheel, Work Wheels, Motegi Racing, MST Wheels, Petrol, Enkei, and Shift.
