hi guys

I'm in sunny Australia and I'm in a bind....its a long story but very true ... "someone" has misplaced my spare wheel for my 64 olds ... its gone cant be found ....probably given to someone else or just thrown out ... but its missing...so I have only 4 wheels , cannot find a rim anywhere in Australia and so I'm tryin to figure out wot other make ..eg buick lincon has the same stud pattern....help!!!! may have to buy one from someone in the usa as last resort .....

If it is 5 x5 inch stud pattern a Cadillac rim will fit (I have one I use as a spare) but they are 15 inch. Not sure are yours 14 or 15 inch?
My wheels are now 15 x 8 inch wires up from the original 14's.

An American (not Canadian) Pontiac from 58 to 70 will also fit.

Many of the full size body-on frame GM cars from the 60s through 1996 used the 5x5 bolt pattern, Chevy was usually the exception but even their heavy duty versions used it. I have a set of 95 Caprice police car wheels on my starfire, 15" by 7" and a very solid steel wheel.

I believe the OP is seeking a replacement for a 64 Olds 98 which has a 14 inch wheel.
The only other 14 inch wheel I know of with a 5X5 bolt pattern is a full size USA Pontiac from 58 to 70.

yep you got it mate , but even a 15inch rim would do .....

Did you get the Jeep Wrangler in Aus? They have a 5x127 PCD and 15" was an option I think. Not sure on the centre bore though.

The Olds full size cars used a 5 x 5" bolt circle exclusively through the 1976 model year. There are a bazillion other cars that use that same pattern, including most full size Buicks and Oldsmobiles, 1971-76 Chevy and Pontiac full size, some Fords, 1977-1996 GM full size RWD cars with HD brakes and suspension (including all the B-body wagons), some half ton Chevy/GMC pickups, Astro vans, etc, etc.
