69 Olds Ralley Wheels-Fit 83 Cutlass?
Hello Olds people. I've got a set of 14 X 7 Olds ralley wheels from a 69 Cutlass. I bought them for my 65 442, but they don't fit over the callipers on the non-stock front disc brakes. I might be getting my old 83 Cutlass Supreme Brougham back from one of the kids one day. Does anyone know if the ralley wheels would fit on the 83? I think it had 14 inch rims with front disc brakes.

oldsmobiledave "In early 1969 there were only drum brake Rallye Wheels. Late in 1969 a disc brake version was released. Which do you have?"
I don't know. They have bolt-on centers, if that helps. They're in storage at the barn on Vancouver Island, so no way to even look at them right now. Bummer.

Curious
Are you positive?. Yes the bolt pattern is the same but are you confident that his rims are for disc brakes? I think they are but I am not certain.

Well....I'm not sure about that. Did the drum brakes and disc brakes have different sets of rims? Because my rims will fit on the front or back and both cars both had drum brakes in the back.

My brother had an 83' Cutlass Hurst Old's, and one thing I do know is the tires were 215/65/15 inch, as still have his original worn tires on a set of storage rims in the basement. Thinkin' 14 inchers are gonna look funny on that car, and maybe have some front brake caliper fitment issues.

If they are 14 x 7 they will be 1970 or newer wheels and should work on a 83 Cutlass.
