1981 Chrysler Newport Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1981 Chrysler Newport accepts five-bolt, 114.3-millimeter wheels with a 71.6-millimeter hub bore. The factory setup runs 15-inch by 6-inch with a plus-3 offset. You can step up to 15x6.5, 15x7, 15x8, 16x7, or 16x8 depending on your style preference, and the fitment remains consistent across the car since staggered setups aren't needed here.
The five-by-114.3 bolt pattern is the only pattern that will secure to this Newport, so verify any wheel you're considering carries that spec. Make certain the wheel's center bore measures 71.6 millimeters or smaller; if it's larger, install hub-centric rings to ensure a proper fit. Aggressive offsets or excessive width can invite fender and suspension contact, so choose offset and diameter combinations thoughtfully to avoid clearance issues.
Every wheel we list for your Newport is confirmed to bolt up and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. Aodhan, Heritage Wheel, Work Wheels, Enkei, Vors, Black Rhino, BBS, and Gram Lights all have in-stock options ready to transform your classic Chrysler.
