1955 bolt pattern help please.
Does anyone know the bolt pattern on the 55 Olds? Looking to take my original wheels off for sand blasting and repainting, but want to find rollers to put on while I do this. Would other GM models of this vintage work?
thanks in advance, Paul.

A couple of exceptions to the above info, 49-70 full size Chevrolet are 4 3/4".
Most 77 thru 80s B body rwd GMs such as Chev Impala/Caprice, Pontiac Bonneville/Catalina, Olds 88, and Buick LeSabre will be 4 3/4". 5" was an extra cost option starting in 77 on these cars. All full size rwd wagons will also be equipped with 5" bolt pattern.

Thank you for the replies! I guess I will be visiting Desert Valley Auto Parts this weekend. They have plenty of fine examples.
Now...does anyone know where I can find a reasonably priced set of 1954-1955 Spinner Caps? Fusik is a bit overboard with their prices.

Golds56,
If you are trying to lower your 56 some try 215/60/15 series tires ,I have a set that I use when I take the car on long trips.They do drop the car enough that some speed bumps can be a problem.It gives my car just little bit of the 50's custom look and I can put it back quick with no hassle, plus it rides much better than those bias ply tires that I show it with....Tedd

Thanks guys ,I was told i could fit 245/60/15 on the rear and 225/60/15 on the front,i really want some chrome rims too.out of the 10 hubcaps i have four are nice two of one kind and two nice dog dishes.I will find something that isnt to ghetto like american racing or cragar ss.For now i may just pick up a couple that will match what i have ,you know 60mph caps or something.Or i could just put two on one side and the dogs on the other ,think anyone would notice?LOL Glen

Be sure and try those 245/60/15 on before you buy them, they would not fit on my 55 without rubbing. That is with 8 inch chrome reversed wheels so the offset may be the difference.....Tedd
