Showing 8 of 8+ wheels compatible with the 1979 Dodge Diplomat
The 1979 Dodge Diplomat—whether you're driving the Base, Medallion, or Salon trim—rolls on a 5x114.3 bolt pattern with a 67.1mm center bore. Your Diplomat came equipped with fifteen-inch by six-inch wheels wearing a forty-three millimeter offset, and we stock premium replacements from Aodhan, Heritage Wheel, Work Wheels, Enkei, Vors, Black Rhino, BBS, and Gram Lights that fit perfectly.
Upgrading your wheels opens up options beyond the original fifteen by six setup. You can step up to fifteen by six-point-five or fifteen by seven, or go bold with sixteen by seven wheels—all verified to bolt on securely. Every wheel ships free to the lower forty-eight states, making it easy to transform your Diplomat's stance and style.
1979 Dodge Diplomat Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1979 Dodge Diplomat bolts on with a five-lug 114.3-millimeter pattern. The factory setup runs 15x6 wheels at 43 millimeters offset. You can step up to 15x6.5, 15x7, or 16x7 sizes while staying compatible. Since this model doesn't use a staggered setup, you'll run the same dimensions front and rear.
The five-by-114.3 pattern is the only bolt circle that fits your Diplomat, so verify any wheel before ordering. Your hub measures 67.1 millimeters; if a wheel's center bore runs larger, use hub-centric rings to keep everything centered. Moving significantly wider or more aggressive on offset risks contact with the fenders or suspension components, so choose sizes and offsets conservatively.
Every wheel we stock for your Diplomat is verified to bolt on and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. You'll find solid options from Aodhan, Heritage Wheel, Work Wheels, Enkei, and others ready to ship.
