1981 Plymouth Reliant Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1981 Plymouth Reliant bolts to 5x100 wheels. The factory setup runs 13x5 with a 45mm offset. You can step up through 14, 15, 16, and 17-inch sizes, choosing widths from 5 inches up to 7.5 inches depending on diameter. Since this vehicle doesn't use staggered fitment, you'll run the same specs front and rear.
Only 5x100 patterns will fit your Reliant's hub. The center bore measures 57.1mm, so use hub-centric rings if your wheel's bore exceeds that size. Aggressive offsets or very wide combinations can risk contact with fenders and suspension components, so stay within the listed compatible sizes to avoid clearance problems.
Every wheel we stock for your Reliant is verified to bolt on straight, and we ship free to the lower 48 states. Check out our inventory of Katana Racing, Heritage Wheel, Work Wheels, Vors, Motegi Racing, Aodhan, Enkei, and F1R options—all ready to fit.
