Will Chevy wheels fit 55 Olds?

 

No. The bolt circle is 5" on the Olds and 4-3/4" on the Chevy. Pontiac should fit through '60 on the 5-1/2" wide wheels.

 

Some B body wheels will fit as well as 5 lug truck rims as those should be 5 x 5" as well.

 

And Buick of that era but they will be a little wider but still work... Tedd

 

Sure. So long as they have the 5 x 5" bolt circle.

Perhaps you can tell us WHICH "Chevy" wheels...

If you are referring to the 5 x 4.75" bolt circle used on pretty much every Chevy from the 1960s to 1970, no.

If you are talking about the wheels used on the Impala and Caprice from 1971-76, yes. If you are talking about the wheels used on the 1977-1996 full size cars with HD brakes, yes. If you are talking about the wheels used on some half-ton pickups and Astro vans, yes.

There are a lot of used 15" but good luck finding any with good bolt holes, most I found were worn bad. I bought new ones from Summit, the originals on my 55 were 6" wide but I could only find 7" wide, Summit told me the 6" wide are only made for trailers. The 7" work fine and are the correct size for 225 tires
Just make sure the backspace is 4 or 3.5", my original wheels were on the center of the wheel or 3" backspace.
I think Speedway Motors is having a sale.........

You must be looking for love in all the wrong places...

I've got eight 15 x 7, 5x5" wheels from the two B-body wagons that I'm parting. Lug holes are perfectly fine. I also recently sold four aluminum wheels from one of those half ton trucks, also perfect. Personally I can't see spending $80 or more for one wheel when I can get four for that price.

 

In the mid to late '80's the Astro van had an optional Aluminum wheel that I always thought would look very nice on a '55 Olds. If you like them,maybe there's a set still around somewhere. Good luck,Larry

 

The Astro van and Safari had 5x5. I have Safari regular steel rims on my 47. Chevy pickups C-10 had them also.

 

Thanks for the info fellers
