1981 Chevrolet Impala Base Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1981 Chevrolet Impala Base bolts on using a 5x120.65 pattern. The factory wheel measures 15x6, and you can step up to 15x6.5, 15x7, or 16x7 sizes while maintaining proper fitment. Since this vehicle runs a square setup, any of these compatible sizes work front and rear without staggering concerns.
Only wheels with a 5x120.65 bolt pattern will fit your Impala. The hub center bore measures 70.3mm, so if your chosen wheel has a larger bore, use hub-centric rings to ensure a proper fit. Avoid wheels that are excessively wide or have aggressive offsets, as these may cause rubbing against the fender or suspension components.
Every wheel we ship for your Impala is verified to bolt on and arrives free in the lower 48 states. American Racing, Ridler, Vision, and Forgestar all stock options that fit your classic Chevy perfectly.
