1989 Pontiac Tempest Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1989 Pontiac Tempest bolts up with a 5x100 pattern and came stock with 13x5.5 wheels at 35 offset. You can step up through 14, 15, 16, 17, or 18-inch sizes—we carry square setups in widths from 6 to 7.5 inches. Popular upgrades stay in the mid-range offsets while maintaining that classic proportional look.
Since only 5x100 fits your Tempest, confirm any wheel you're considering matches that bolt pattern. The hub bore measures 57.1 millimeters; if a wheel's center bore runs larger, use hub-centric rings to center it properly on the hub. Aggressive offsets or very wide wheels can rub the fender or suspension components, so stick with modest backspacing especially on the larger diameters.
Every wheel we list for your Tempest bolts on directly and ships free to the lower 48 states. We stock solid options from Katana Racing, Heritage Wheel, Work Wheels, Motegi Racing, Aodhan, Enkei, and F1R—all verified to fit your car.
