I have a 1965 Oldsmobile Delta 88 2 door. It has a 425 big block in it and I am looking for a new set of wheels for it and was wondering what the bolt spacing is 4 3/4 or 5 inches?

Wow. I should have replied to this sooner. When I bought my 66 olds delta88 about 4 years ago, It came with 15" rims 5x5 wide-lug. In 66, the stock rim was a 14" 5x5 wide-lug with 165-75-r14's (if i can remember correctly.. she's in storage now).
It took me 2 years to locate a set of stock rims. I've looked EVERYWHERE for OEM aftermarket 14"x5x5 lug.. and they DONT EXIST! I found a set of them in an AZ junkyard.. |

Ed is correct.
The 1966 88 (except the Jetstar 88), 98 and Starfire had 14" wheels with a 5 bolt by 5 inch bolt pattern. The Jetstar 88 uses the 5 on 4 and 3/4 bot pattern. I had to replace the wheels on my 98. They are hard to find. Olds used this wheel from 1959 to 1967. In 68 they went to a 15 inch wheel.
