1970 Renault R16 Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1970 Renault R16 fastens wheels using a 3x150 bolt pattern. The stock setup runs 13x5 with a 36mm offset. You can upgrade to a 13x5.5 width while maintaining the same bolt pattern and offset, giving you a modest sizing option without major changes to handling or appearance.
The three-bolt 150mm pattern is unique to this vehicle, so only wheels specifically drilled for this fitment will work. Your R16 has a 60.1mm center bore, so use hub-centric rings when installing wheels with a larger center bore to ensure proper centering. Aggressive offset changes or excessive widths risk interference with fenders and suspension components, so stick within the compatible sizes we've verified for your car.
All wheels we list for your R16 are confirmed to bolt on properly and ship free throughout the lower 48 states. We regularly stock fitments for classic European vehicles, ensuring you get a wheel that's both period-appropriate and mechanically sound for your classic French sedan.
