1979 Pontiac Phoenix Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1979 Pontiac Phoenix—whether Base, LJ, or SJ—needs wheels with a 5x120.65 bolt pattern. The factory setup is a 14x6 wheel at 11 millimeters offset. You can upgrade to larger sizes from 14-inch up to 16-inch diameter, with widths ranging from 6 to 8 inches. All compatible fitments are square, not staggered, so both front and rear accept the same sizing.
The 5x120.65 bolt pattern is specific to your Phoenix; no other pattern will mount. Your hub has a 70.3-millimeter center bore, so fit hub-centric rings to any wheel with a larger bore to ensure proper centering and vibration-free operation. While your Phoenix accommodates up to 16 inches and 8-inch widths, exercise caution with wider or offset-aggressive wheels, as they may cause fender or suspension contact depending on your chosen combination.
Every wheel we stock for your Phoenix is verified bolt-on and ships free to the lower 48 states. American Racing, Vision, WELD Performance, and Ridler are among the quality brands available now, offering classic and modern styles to suit your restoration or upgrade.
