1978 Chrysler Newport Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1978 Chrysler Newport accepts a 5x114.3 bolt pattern and comes equipped with a 15x6 wheel at 3mm offset. You can step up to 15x6.5, 15x7, or 15x8 widths while staying in 15-inch diameter, or move to 16-inch with 7 or 8-inch widths. Since the car isn't staggered, front and rear wheels match in size and setup.
Keep in mind that only 5x114.3 bolts will fit this Newport—no other patterns work. The 71.6mm center bore requires hub-centric rings if your chosen wheel's bore exceeds that size, ensuring a safe, vibration-free fit. Wider wheels or aggressive offsets can interfere with fenders and suspension, so verify fitment before committing to extreme changes from the stock 3mm offset.
Every wheel we list for your Newport bolts on correctly and ships free across the lower 48 states. We stock Aodhan, Heritage Wheel, Work Wheels, Enkei, Vors, Black Rhino, BBS, and Gram Lights—all ready to ship.
