1957 Oldsmobile - what newer style rims fit??

Good morning everyone,

I'm interested in putting new tires on my car. The stock steel wheels have 205/75/14 tires but as everyone knows, 14" tires are hard to find. Whenever I call a tire shop they think I want trailer tires.

So, wonder what the bolt patter is for this car? Is it 5x5? Will later style Buick, Chevy, Pontiac rims in a 15" style fit? So little information out there for these cars.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Yes, most anything with a 5x5 pattern will work (if the offset is with in reason). Doesn't have to be later model wheels as many of the pre 57 cars had 5x5 15-inch wheels. Tedd

5 X 5 bolt pattern 15" wheels can be found on later "B body" Oldsmobiles.

Only through 1976. The downsized 1977 B-body cars came with 5 x 4.75" wheels. The C-body cars and B-body wagons did get the 5 x 5" wheels. These are typically 15x7.

Make sure you check the wagons all the way to 1990 (Chevy, Oldsmobile, Buick and Pontiac). 91-96 Chevy Caprices also had 5x5" 15" wheels (not the Impala SS though, they had 17" wheels but were still 5x5").
