    I would like some nice Rally wheels on my 1970 Riv.
    Only problem is, I do not know if all wheels on my car have the same size 5x5 or perhaps 5x4.75 or whatever it may be.

    Anybody has the exact measures on this?
    Also, the exact inner diameter of the original wheels are a mystery to me.
    I do know that this is a lot, since I have drumbrakes all around and they are like the size of a trashcan lid......:bglasses:

    Thanks so much in advance!

    Eelco,

    The stock wheels on a 70 Riv would be 5X5 bolt circle, 15 inch diameter wheels.

    They should also have a 2 1/8" dia. centre hole for the proper ribbed, cone shaped centre caps Eelco. :TU:

    If you are looking for a picture of the correct wheels take a look at the listing in the Denver, CO Craigslist from a few days ago. The ad says they will fit Riv, LeSabre, GS,GSX, Skylark, etc. Those are the correct style wheel for your car.

    Not sure about the add, but Riviera wheels are for full size cars only.
    They will not fit GS,GSX or Skylarks which are a two piece rim and have a smaller bolt pattern. :Do No:
