88 Electra rims

[Tango 20]

I have a set of 88 Electra turbine style rims. Can anyone tell me what lug nuts I will need To put them on my 86 Regal ?

Those are FWD wheels, the back spacing is way off to fit a RWD car.

If they look like this

They are rear wheel drive BUT...They are the 5 inch big car bolt pattern. These came on the full size wagons and will not fit your 86 Regal.

Hope this helps!

O.K. I will have to check them out. I am going to look at them today. They are at a tire shop they have a huge inventory of used wheels. The guy told me they are 5x4.75 15x7 with 4.25 backspace . But they look like the ones above? So I will measure them myself. Thanks

4.25 back spacing will rub on the upper control arm (my 4.00 back space rims needed a spacer) The appropriate back space for our cars is 3.75.

I checked some web sites with regards to these wheels, Buick did release this wheel with a 4.75 bolt pattern, I was wrong stating they only came in the 5 inch bolt pattern.

Look for a GM part number of 25508632 or 25511078. (Should be cast in back side of wheel) Also if the tire shop allows test fit them on the car, 383 GrandPrix may be correct the wheel will rub the upper control arm.

Good Luck!

I have them they are 5x4.75 . Mounted them and ordered 1/4" spacers. I will let you know if that is enough. Going to go with 215/65R15 Coopers. Now lots of sanding and polishing !
