1979 Chevrolet Impala Base Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
The 1979 Chevrolet Impala Base fastens wheels with a 5x120.65 bolt pattern and rides on a 15-inch rim as original equipment. Your Impala accepts 15x6, 15x7, and 16x7 fitments, giving you flexibility to modernize the look while maintaining compatibility. Square setup works best here, since this generation doesn't benefit from staggered sizing.
Pay close attention: only wheels with the 5x120.65 bolt pattern will secure properly to your Impala. The 70.3mm hub center bore is critical—if your chosen wheel has a larger bore, install hub-centric rings to ensure a safe, vibration-free fit. Extreme widths or aggressive negative offsets risk contact with fenders and suspension components, so stick within the proven size range listed above.
Every wheel we offer for your Impala is verified to bolt on and ships free to the lower 48 states. American Racing, US Mag 1PC, Ridler, and WELD Performance are all in stock and ready to ship today.
