1979 Honda Prelude Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1979 Honda Prelude uses a 4x100 bolt pattern with a 56.1mm center bore. The stock wheel is 13x5 with a 45mm offset. You can upgrade to larger sizes including 13x5.5, 14x5.5, 14x6, 15x6.5, 15x7, 16x6.5, 16x7, or even 17x7, giving you flexibility across multiple generations of wheel styles.
Only wheels with a 4x100 bolt pattern will fit your Prelude—verify this before purchasing. Since your wheel's center bore may differ from the factory 56.1mm, hub-centric rings are often necessary to ensure proper centering on the hub. As you move toward wider widths and different offsets, pay attention to potential clearance issues with the fender and suspension components.
Every wheel we offer for your 1979 Honda Prelude is confirmed to bolt on correctly and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. We stock options from trusted brands including Vors, Enkei, Work Wheels, and Motegi Racing, so you'll find the right look for your classic.
