    Will these 15" rallys fit my 80 Regal without any tire rub? I'm thinking of going with 205/70-15 tires. Or should I try to swap them with someone for some 14s?
    Or will they fit my '70 Skylark and then I can put the 14s from there on the Regal?

    Thanks

    . i would assume that these rims are for disk brakes. from what vehicle do they originate? if the bolt pattern is correct 5 x 4.75, and i believe it is, they will fit

    They came from a '70 GS.

    I believe the required B.S. for the 80's Regals is 3 1/2". The wheels you have pictured have 4" or more B.S. They will fit the Regal on the rear as well as the front, but on full lock in a turn, the rim will rub on the control arms. You can run them on your 70 Skylark with no problem.

    Thanks, I did measure the backspace and as you said, it's about 4 1/2 inches. Guess I'll stick with the stock Regal wheels and spokes and leave the 14s on the Skylark. Time to sell the 15s I guess.

    when i had my regal 215-65-15s up fron rubs at full lock. wheel spacers solved that
    stock 15x7 buicl rallyes are 4.25

    one inch wheel spacers should solve the rubbing issues unless you plam to just run a 215-60 15 up front
