Doing my first full-size Olds ('85 CC wagon) and really want a set of Olds wheels on it. Were there ever any SS-type wheels available in a 5x5 bolt pattern? Can't seem to find any. Thanks!

 

You can't find them because they don't exist. All production SuperStock I and SuperStock II/III wheels were only made in the 5 x 4.75" bolt pattern. There were apparently a handful of custom-made SSIII wheels with a 5 x 5 pattern for the 1977 Delta 88 pace cars (the real pace cars, not the replicas sold to the public), but good luck finding (or paying for) any of those. The only SuperStock wheels ever made in the 5 x 5 bolt pattern are the SSIV wheels used on the 1971-72 Deltas.

 

I thought the 1985 CC had the same 4.75" bolt pattern as the full size delta 88's of that year?
If not then you can use full size buick rims 5x5 like in this

 

Nope. The 1977-1990 B-body wagons all got the HD brakes with the larger bolt pattern. Same thing for the 1977-1984 Ninety Eights and all 1977-1985 D88s with the HD suspension and brakes (taxi, police, and 403 cars). Only the run-of-the-mill D88s got the small brakes and small bolt pattern.

 

i had some of those ssiv wheels on my 64 starfire for awhile.ended up going with some tru-spoke wire wheels with the 3 bar knock-offs.i think i still have a couple of em laying around,been years since i've seen em.gonna have to dig to see if i can find em.

 

Olds Custom Cruisers used this same wheel as the Buick except the center cap had an Olds emblem.....

 

And the back ground paint on the Buick wheel was lighter/darker...its a bitch trying to find Olds caps for those aluminium wheels. Also there are two different wheel nuts and pockets for those wheels, try to get a set of four or five with the same hardware.

 

Thanks, guys. I pretty much knew the answer, but ever hopeful... I've seen the polycast, not a fan. Had the Chevy version on an old Monte Carlo back in the day. I had a set of the Buick wheels (aluminum) as well, found out about the Olds caps being hyper-rare. Heck, I couldn't even find decent Buick caps to convert. Gave them up to a Buick guy. As for the chrome Buick wheels, they're just too..... Buick. Guess I go back to my original idea, American Racing S-200s (daisy,or "coke bottle") wheels. Nice and chunky looking, like the wagon. Thanks again for the replies!
