Will a set of SSIII 14x7 fit on a 78 cutlass...?

Hi I was searching for some Olds rally wheels and during my research on the SS series I've come to favor the SSIII and was wondering if they would be a perfect fit for my 78 cutlass..?

If I recall, that was one of the choices for that year.

Those were the wheels I had on my 78 Calais. You'll really enjoy the way it makes the car look.

The standard SSIII wheel for 1978-8x was a 14 x 6 wheel with the push on center cap. I don't see why a 14 x 7 wheel wouldn't work but the 14 x 7 wheels might be older and have the bolt on center caps which are slightly larger than the push ons.

Yea that's why I had asked cause it said originally the SSIII came from the early 70's model cars...But thanks I'll be going to pick up my wheels this Sunday hopefully...I found a set for $40 with center caps and beauty rings..
