14x6 buick rallies. will they fit?

[Buickforlife]

Just wondering if my set of 14x6 buick rally rims from my 72 skylark would fit on a 85 or 86 regal. I figure the bolt pattern would be the same, but i have never actually checked.

Yes

Thanks!

Yes, but it's going to look weird--unless you are lowering the car also...

It would look weird because the rims would be too small? I am getting some 15" rims soon.

You may have to use a 1/4" wheel spacer to clear the outer tie rod end &/or wheel weight. Check your backside wheel clearance carefully.

Why would it look weird? Those 14X6 Rallys were an option on the 78-87 NA Regals. Unless you think sleeper is weird.

Just because they were available as an option on said vehicles--doesn't necessarily mean they would not look weird. (I wonder how many of these small pies were "ordered by customer" as an option--but were not soon replaced because of weird-look-factor.) I think a turbopowered fish would look weird also--but what do I know...:biggrin:

Do the 15X7 rally wheels fit? They would look a lot better and have better tire options. Is the GN/T a 5 x 4.75 bolt pattern? I have seen these rally wheels in 14x6, 15x6, 15x7, and with 5 x 4.75 and 5 x 5 bolt patterns, with all different backspacing. Probably other variations out there that I don't know about.

I am actually looking for a clean set of these. Does anyone know exactly which spec wheels I need to fit the 87 T?

Thanks

Re: 15x7 Rallys

5x4.75" bolt pattern = fine
BS of 3.5" to 4.0" = fine

Nope them 14X6 rallys will not fit your car because mine came with it from the factory.....

Does anyone have a decent set of the rallies they want to sell? I have not found anything nice yet for a decent price.

Found another wheel with the same bolt pattern, but don't know if it fits or if it is the same type of wheel (as far as hub vs. lug centric, hub size, etc.)

Anyone know if the wheels from a 2nd gen S10 fit the Regals? They are 15 inch 5x4.75 aluminum, but I don't know the backspace or the hub size, etc. Anyone know if these fit?

I tried posting a pic, but aparently you have to have it hosted elsewhere?

The S-10 wheels should work. The way I look it is, that the S-10 is just a G-Body with leaf springs. The front suspensions and the brakes share the same parts more or less.

Be carefull. The B-Body wheels with the same 4.75 bolt pattern have the wrong offset. The wheels and tires usually rub on the inside or the frame.

Would a camaro be a B-body? I have seen several Buicks rolling around on the 80s/90s camaro/Iroc wheels. Are any spacers or adapters required to do this?

Is the offset the same as the backspacing? If so, I just need to look for something with the previously mentioned 3.5-4" backspacing, correct?

I found a way to host the picture. Here is the S10 wheel in question (hopefully this works, I have never posted images before):

Does this S10 wheel have the appropriate backspacing?

A Camaro is an F body. B bodies are Caprice, Impala, Bonneville, Catalina, Parisienne, Delta 88, Regency 98, Le Sabre, Electra.....the big GM cars.

The S-10 rim should work, especially if it's a 15X7 with a 3.5 back space.

Also for those who are wondering, the Regal I posted pics of came factory with the 14X6 Rally rims it has in the pic. But the car was sold over a year ago so i can't sell the rims.
