have a 69 impala i just bought and i want to know what bolt pattern they are
and what cars could i pull wheels off of to fit, preffered 14's or 15's. the
reason i ask is because the car came with 13 inch 70 spokes wheels w the
octogonal knock offs and im not a 13 inch wheel kinda guy AND i cant get the
knock offs off.
so im figuring ill pull some wheels at the salvage yard and take them w the
car to get the old ones off and get the ones i will be pulling put on in
their place.
which leads me back to my question, which chevys can i pull wheels from
that would fit? oh it has four wheel drum brakes if that helps any.
all help appreciated and thanks in advanced.

Should be able to get any steel wheel off of any large GM..Bonneville,
,Delta 88, LeSabre. I believe all of those type cars came with 15's.
Cutlasses, Regals, Gran Prix, came with 14's OR 15's depending on the
options.

From my experience, the bolt pattern didn't change until the FWD came into
play..

Not true... some had 4.75" pattern and some had 5" I'm not sure what
the rule was for which cars had what.
