1979 Pontiac Firebird Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1979 Pontiac Firebird uses a 5x120.65 bolt pattern and comes stock with 14x6 wheels at 8mm offset. You can upgrade to larger sizes including 15-inch and 16-inch options, ranging from 6 to 8 inches wide. All compatible sizes bolt directly onto your Firebird without modification, giving you flexibility in classic and modern wheel styles.
Since your Firebird accepts only the 5x120.65 bolt pattern, verify any wheel you're considering matches this specification exactly. The hub center bore measures 70.3mm; if your chosen wheel has a larger bore, use hub-centric rings to ensure proper seating. Wider wheels and aggressive offsets can risk contact with fender and suspension components, so stick to the listed compatible sizes to avoid fitment issues.
We verify every wheel fits your specific Firebird and ship free throughout the lower 48 states. American Racing, US Mag 1PC, Performance Replicas, Vision, E5 Wheels, WELD Performance, Forgestar, and Ridler are all in stock and ready to ship.
