1957 buick lug pattern/offset

[series40special]

just a quick question,what is the lug pattern and backspacing/offset for
the 57 buicks?

 

[theoldguy]

The bolt pattern is 5 holes equally spaced around a 5 inch diameter but I don't know the back spacing.

Backspacing

Hi, I believe the backspacing on a stock 57 15X6 inch wheel is 3 3/8.

Good Luck, John Z :thumbsup:

Buick used the 5x5 bolt pattern for big series cars (except for the Special/Skylarks introduced in the early '60's) from something like 1935 to the mid '70's. So your wheels should be 5x5. Here is a good list:

I checked my '52 shop manual and couldn't find the backspacing listed. It may be easier to just measure:

If you have a wheel and wish to measure it, here is how:
