Best I can tell the bolt pattern is 5 lug 4.75. Can anybody confirm? Also suggestions for a set of wheels that would fit this car. Thanks all! Posted on: 10/26 13:17

Try Mike at Tucson Packards or Gerry at Packards Southwest for the best prices. As for the bolt pattern, there is also the diameter of the center hole to take into account as that’s what keeps the wheel running true so needs to be a good snug fit. Posted on: 10/26 13:34

Back in the day you often found Buick wheels on Packards. When I got my Cavalier it had 2 green Buick rims on it. Made me curious what happened to the others. But they're all Packard rims now! Cleaning and painting rims was last fall's project. Posted on: 10/27 9:07

Two were 14" and the other two 15". But, were on opposite corners! You can't make this stuff up. Posted on: 10/27 9:52

Some people have extras. Car came missing drums and wheels/tires from one side. It looks like the previous owner was in the middle of doing a brake job when something happened. I found a new master cylinder and brake cylinders in the trunk. My guess is he took the drums to a shop to be turned and never came back for them. Posted on: 10/27 10:42
