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").

1973 thru 87 Chevy or GMC half ton pickup wheels will fit too. 15 inch.
