1987 Pontiac Tempest Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1987 Pontiac Tempest uses a 5x100 bolt pattern, with the stock wheel measuring 13x5.5 at a 35 offset. You can upgrade through a range of compatible sizes, from 14x6 and 15-inch options up to 18x7.5, all sharing the same bolt pattern. Since this model runs square sizing, staggered setups aren't a consideration here.
Keep in mind that only 5x100 wheels will fit your Tempest. The center bore measures 57.1mm, so if your new wheel has a larger bore, use hub-centric rings to ensure a proper fit. Aggressive offsets or very wide wheels can create rubbing issues with the fenders and suspension components, so verify fitment before going extreme on either dimension.
Every wheel we list for your Tempest is verified to bolt on correctly and ships free across the lower 48 states. Browse our in-stock inventory from brands like Enkei, Work Wheels, Motegi Racing, and Aodhan to find the right look for your classic.
