Delmont wheel options?
please feel free to correct any errors, but I have a 67 Delmont convertible and I am looking to go from 14" to 15" rims. if I am correct the current/correct rim for this car is a 14" x 6" wheel with a 5 x 5 bolt pattern and 4,5" back spacing? is that all correct. if so, is there an olds with a 15" x 6 or 7 or even 8" (i guess) that i can look for used to replace these wheels. I AM A BUYER IF ANYONE HAS SOMETHING....
sorry if someone has answered this before, but Isearched and didnt find anything.
also always looking for any OEM Delmont stuff for sale
Thanks,
Mike

Hollander shows that the 1967 & 1968 Olds 15X6, 5-5 will fit (part number 403898); and the 1962-66 Olds with the 15X6, 5-5 wheels (part number 381950). It looks like you need the 15" optional wheels or the ones used with disc brakes.

The stock wheels were about zero offset. On a 6" wide wheel, zero offset will be about 3.25" to 3.5" backspace. If all you want is a steel wheel that's 15", the stock 15x7 wheels on the 1977-1990 B-body wagons work fine and clear any disc brake swap.
