Wheels for 56 buick

[Guest tv56]

Can anyone tell me what the bolt pattern

for a 56 special with 15 inch wheels is?

I hope to find a set of riviera or wildcat

chrome wheels to fit on my car and want to

make sure they will fit.

Thanks, Tom

The pattern is 5 on 5 , so any of the big series Buick wheels up to 1976 will fit, but you will need to modify the front hubs and the centering rings on the rear axles, as the later wheels have a smaller hole. It requires that you grind flats on them to clear the later wheels.

Lots of work, as "The Old Guy" helped or did it on a '56 I had, but looks way cool with the late model Buick wheels.
