1974 Renault R12 Base Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1974 Renault R12 Base uses a 5x130 bolt pattern and rolls on stock 15x4.5 wheels with a 42-millimeter offset. You can fit either 14-inch or 15-inch wheels in widths ranging from 4.5 to 6.5 inches, giving you flexibility to match your driving style and aesthetic. Since this model isn't staggered, you'll run the same size and offset all around.
Watch for the 71.6-millimeter hub-centric bore on your R12. Wheels with a larger center bore require hub-centric rings to sit properly on the hub. Only the 5x130 bolt pattern will fit this car, so verify any wheel you're considering has that exact lug configuration. Aggressive offsets or wider widths can risk contact with fenders and suspension components, so stay within the compatible range we've listed.
Every wheel we offer for your R12 is verified to bolt on correctly and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. We stock BBS, Rotiform 1PC, Asanti Black, Victor Equipment, and several other quality brands that fit your car perfectly.
