1979 Chrysler Newport Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1979 Chrysler Newport accepts five-lug 114.3-millimeter bolt-pattern wheels. The factory setup runs 15-inch by 6-inch with a plus-3 offset. You can step up to 15x6.5, 15x7, 15x8, or move to 16-inch diameter in 7 or 8-inch widths, all sharing the same bolt pattern and non-staggered configuration front to rear.
The critical constraint on this Newport is the 5x114.3 bolt pattern—nothing else will fit safely. Your center bore measures 71.6 millimeters; use hub-centric rings on any wheel whose bore exceeds that diameter to ensure proper centering. Wider offsets or aggressive negative offsets risk interference with fenders and suspension components, so stay within the listed compatible sizes to avoid rubbing issues.
Every wheel we stock for your Newport bolts on cleanly and qualifies for free shipping across the lower 48 states. We carry Aodhan, Heritage Wheel, Work Wheels, Enkei, Vors, Black Rhino, BBS, and Gram Lights—all ready to ship for your classic Mopar.
