1981 Pontiac T1000 Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1981 Pontiac T1000 requires a 4x100 bolt pattern. The stock wheel is 13x5 with a 38mm offset. You can upgrade to 14x6, 15x6, 15x6.5, 15x7, 16x6.5, or 16x7 sizes while maintaining the same square, non-staggered setup that the factory intended for this vehicle.
The 4x100 bolt pattern is the only pattern that fits your T1000, so confirm this specification before purchasing. Your hub has a 57.1mm center bore; if you choose a wheel with a larger center bore, use hub-centric rings to ensure a proper fit. Stepping up to wider sizes or more aggressive offsets risks contact with fender and suspension components, so verify fitment specs carefully before ordering.
Every wheel we carry for your T1000 is confirmed to bolt on and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. Vors, Heritage Wheel, Work Wheels, Motegi Racing, MST Wheels, Petrol, Enkei, and Shift all have options in stock for your fitment.
