Rims for Oldsmobile Delta 88 1984
Hello
I have a new Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale Brougham 1984 Engine 5.0 V8 4BLL.
At home I have new tires 225/75/R14 with a white stripe.
I need help what 14 "rims would fit on this model? Spacing of the screws is 5x4.52 (5x115) ??
Standard means there gave 15 "rims :-(
Sorry my english is bad, I'm from Czech Republic :-)
Thanks so much for your help
EDIT: edit: what is the correct pitch screws this model?

this is how to measure bolt circle, you should try to find 14x7 factory SSIII's the correct circle for your car should be 4 3/4, or you could go to jegs or summit and look for rims that fit your car, but most gm cars of the 1980's have this bolt circle

The measurement is the diameter of the imaginary circle that passes through the center of the wheel lugs.
Your 1984 could have come with either a 5 x 4.75" bolt circle or a 5x5" bolt circle. The 5" circle was only used on cars with HD suspension and brakes (mainly wagons, taxis, and police applications). These cars also used 12" front rotors and 11" rear drums. Most Eighty Eights came with the smaller bolt circle and the smaller 10.75" front rotors and 9.5" rear drums.
Lars has shown you the quick and dirty way to approximate the bolt circle measurement. It will get you close, but it isn't exact.
