Your 1979 Jeep Wagoneer—whether you own the Base or Limited trim—rolls on a 6x139.7 bolt pattern with stock 15x7 wheels. Finding the right upgrade means working with the exact fitment specifications your Jeep demands. We verify every wheel to bolt on perfectly before it ships, so you can confidently choose from our curated selection of Vision, Work Wheels, Fuel, OE Wheels, Carolina Forged, LOCK OFFROAD, Enkei, and Icon Alloys.
The good news is you have genuine options. Your Wagoneer accepts wheel sizes ranging from 15x6 all the way up to 18x8, giving you flexibility in appearance and performance. Every fitment we offer ships free to the lower 48 states, so upgrading your classic Jeep is both simple and affordable.
1979 Jeep Wagoneer Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1979 Jeep Wagoneer uses a 6x139.7 bolt pattern with a 71.6mm hub-centric center bore. The stock setup runs 15x7 wheels at a 10-millimeter offset. You can upgrade to 15, 16, 17, or 18-inch diameters across widths from 6 to 8.5 inches, giving you flexibility to match your terrain and style without staggering front and rear.
The 6x139.7 bolt pattern is exclusive to your Wagoneer, so verify any wheel matches this specification before purchasing. Since many aftermarket wheels have a larger center bore than your 71.6mm hub, use hub-centric rings to ensure a safe, vibration-free fit. Wider wheels and more aggressive offsets can contact the fender or suspension, so confirm clearance on your specific build before going extreme.
Every wheel we list for your Wagoneer is verified to bolt on and ships free across the lower 48 states. Vision, Work Wheels, Fuel 1PC, OE Wheels, Carolina Forged, LOCK OFFROAD, Enkei, and Icon Alloys all have in-stock options ready to fit your classic Jeep.
