1972 Renault R16 Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1972 Renault R16 uses a three-lug 150mm bolt pattern with a 60.1mm center bore. The stock wheel is 13 inches by 5 inches wide at a 36mm offset. You can fit either 13x5 or 13x5.5 inch wheels, both non-staggered, using the same offset specification to maintain proper clearance and handling balance.
Since this vehicle has a unique three-lug bolt pattern, verify that any wheel you choose is specifically drilled 3x150 before purchasing. The 60.1mm hub-centric bore is critical; if your wheel's bore exceeds this diameter, install hub-centric rings to ensure proper seating and safety. Avoid aggressive offsets or widths beyond the compatible sizes listed, as the 1972 R16's suspension geometry has limited clearance for rubbing at the fenders or struts.
Every wheel we stock for your R16 is verified to bolt on safely and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. Browse our in-stock selection to find the right look for your classic French sedan.
