We verify every wheel to bolt on correctly before it ships, eliminating fitment guesswork. Your Colt can accommodate sizes ranging from 13x5 all the way up to 17x7, offering flexibility for your vision. Best of all, we cover free shipping to the lower 48 states, so you can upgrade your classic without hidden costs.
1978 Dodge Colt Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1978 Dodge Colt bolts on 4x114.3, running a square setup across all four corners. The factory wheel is 13x5 with an 18mm offset. You can move up through several compatible sizes—13x5.5, 14x6, 15x6, 15x6.5, 15x7, 16x6.5, 16x7, and 17x7—all without needing staggered widths front to rear.
Only the 4x114.3 bolt pattern will fit this Colt, so verify any wheel you're considering carries that spec. The hub bore sits at 67.1mm; use hub-centric rings on any wheel whose center bore exceeds that diameter to ensure a safe, vibration-free fit. Aggressive offsets or widths beyond what's listed risk contact with the fender and suspension, so stick within the compatible range.
Every wheel we stock for your Colt is verified to bolt on and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. We carry Work Wheels, Enkei, SSR Wheels, and Rotiform in fitments that suit your car.
