1979 Pontiac Catalina Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1979 Pontiac Catalina uses a 5x127 bolt pattern and rolls on 15x6 wheels with an 11mm offset from the factory. Both Base and Safari trim levels share this fitment. You can upgrade to 15x7 wheels while maintaining compatibility, giving you modest width options without compromising fit or clearance on your classic Pontiac.
When shopping for replacements, remember that only the 5x127 bolt pattern will secure properly to your Catalina. The hub center bore measures 77.8mm; if your wheel's bore is larger, hub-centric rings ensure a safe, vibration-free fit. Avoid wheels with aggressive offsets or excessive widths that risk contacting fenders or suspension components during articulation or turning.
Every wheel we list for your Catalina is verified to bolt on and ships free across the lower 48 states. We stock Black Rhino, Dirty Life, Carolina Forged, Fuel 1PC, Icon Alloys, Vision, 9Six9 Wheels, and LOCK OFFROAD options that fit your application.
