Help with 68

4door88 · 04-24-2008, 06:14 PM

I have been doing some research on the lug pattern on the 1968 Delta 88. I was told it's 5x127 but I'm not sure and neither was the site I checked. I searched on here but wasn't sure if the lug pattern changed from year to year. If someone could help me and tell me the lug pattern on the 1968 Delta 88 4 door. I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance

It's 5 X 5" = 5 lugs on a 5" bolt circle. It's was the standard bolt pattern on big GM cars from atleast the mid sixties to ??? Also used on Chevy & GMC 1/2 ton pickups from 1971 till the late 80's.

Just tell the company you have 5x5 bolt pattern. If they don't carry that size then don't but the wheels, they won't fit. Of course, I have seen some wheels with elongated holes but I am not sure how safe those are. I know I wouldn't want to put them on my car.
