Wheel and tire options

Hello all!
I inherited my olds a few years ago and don't know a whole lot about it.
Here is the first issue I have.
so I'm am wanting to change wheels on my 69 delta but can't find anywhere that recognizes the car online.
Are there other models that would interchange i.e. cutlass tornado ...
Thanks for the help

It should be a 5x5 bolt pattern and neither of those cars wheels are interchangeable with it.

What are you wanting to put on it?

Online At 67-72chevytrucks.com theres an article on 5x5 Bolt Pattern compatibility list..Most are early GM Trucks ,but the Buicks had a wheel in chrome with spokes ,and the early Astro and Safari had an Alloy wheel with waffle design in the center that you could color code the center to match your car.I think the Astro / Safari one were mid eighties years.they would be my choice,but they are difficult to find.

Thanks for the help. I am thinking something in a 15. Possibly chrome but want it to be period appropriate. Not looking for some donk22s... Old school craigers may look right.

Thanks Larry that gives me some good source material to go through. A color coded wheel could look nice

Just about every RWD GM car from the 1960s and 70s uses a wheel with zero or near zero offset. 15x7 with zero offset will work fine.

A full set of moons or moon center caps with trim rings might be nice. I'd powder the steel wheels to match the body before I did anything though.

I bought a set of Cragar SS 15x7 5x5 bolt pattern off craigslist for $125. I dont recall the backspacing or offset but the guy I bought them from said he was going to use them on a Jeep. They bolted on to my old 64 Dynamic without issue and looked pretty sharp.
