1981 Pontiac Phoenix Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1981 Pontiac Phoenix fastens wheels with a 5x100 bolt pattern. The stock setup runs 13x5.5 at a 42-millimeter offset. You can step up to 14, 15, 16, or 17-inch diameters while staying compatible, choosing widths from 6 to 7.5 inches depending on your preferred diameter. Since this vehicle runs a non-staggered setup, your front and rear wheels match.
Keep in mind that only 5x100 wheels will fit your Phoenix. The hub-centric bore measures 57.1 millimeters; if your wheel has a larger center bore, use hub-centric rings to ensure a secure fit. Avoid going significantly wider or running aggressive offsets that could contact fenders or suspension components during turns or over bumps.
All wheels listed here bolt straight onto your Phoenix and ship free throughout the lower 48 states. We stock popular brands like Katana Racing, Heritage Wheel, Work Wheels, and Enkei in fitments that match your vehicle.
