15 inch wheels for 1958 Super

What years of stock 15" steel GM wheels will fit on a '58 Super 88?

Define "fit". If all you care about is the bolt pattern, then any 15" wheel with the 5x5" bolt circle fits. That covers every Olds full size (except the Jetstar 88) through 1976 and the RWD full size cars with HD brakes through 1992.

How about GM pickups of the 8os? Still around in yards. Also there's a 79 Electra with 15s in the yard nearby?
I want to use 225/75r15 tires.

The Electra should have the 5x5 bolt circle, as do SOME of the half-ton pickups.

Printing up one of the available online bolt pattern guides is helpful when searching wrecking yards.

Scratch your hub on it. Our wheels are hub centric, and regardless of matching lug pattern, the hub should fit, too.

I ended up with a set 15" steel in black with tires and a full set 15" chrome steel from a few RWD Cadillacs.
