I have looked for a steel 14 Olds steel rim that will accept a hubcap/cover, 6 inch wide, on 5 x 5 bolt pattern, for disc brakes, and I don't find where you can buy a new or used for that matter. Any ideas please? I would probably do any such rim if chromed or not if it can accept a cover. Craig

You won't find them because the don't exist. The 5x5" bolt pattern was only used on the full size cars. The optional disk brakes on the 1967-1970 full size cars required special 15" wheels because the rotors are 12" diameter, not the 10.75" diameter rotors used on the A-body cars. The smaller Cutlass rotors allowed the use of 14" wheels. The bigger rotors on the full size cars do not.

Thank you for the confirmation Joe. Was hoping my research skills were faulty. Was trying to keep 14 inch wheels on a '65 98 as I have new 14 inch OE wheel covers. I thought I would try to put aftermarket calipers on that were not as tall so a 14 inch would fit. I only need 1/2 inch less on caliper height to get a 14 inch wheel on there if I could find a 5 x 5. I assumed the cost of disc brakes was losing the 14's when I did it, but I didn't want to believe it. On to another problem. Thanks.

I have 3 or 4 of the 15" 5"x5" wheels that were used on big cars with disc brakes if that helps.
