A Pontiac Catalina (1971–1976) uses a 5x127 or 5x120.65 PCD and a centre bore of 78.1 or 70.3 mm.
Any wheel must match the vehicle's PCD exactly: there is no tolerance, unless you use a PCD adapter.
Centre bore: the wheel must have a centre bore of 78.1 mm or more. If it is larger (as with most aftermarket wheels), add a hub centric ring wheel centre bore → 78.1 mm.
Fixings: thread Ecrous - 1/2 - 20 UN. The nuts or bolts must have the same seat (conical, spherical or flat) as the wheel.
Tyres: original fitment is 215/75R15, 205/75R15. For another size, check the diameter difference with the equivalence calculator (under 3 % recommended).

Vehicles with the same PCD and centre bore
Same 5x127 PCD and same 78.1 mm centre bore: wheels from these vehicles bolt on and centre on a Pontiac Catalina without rings. Offset, width, diameter and caliper clearance still need checking.
Will wheels from another vehicle fit your Catalina?
Choose the vehicle the wheels come from: we compare the hub, then each original wheel to the millimetre.
Same PCD, different centre bore
These vehicles also use 5x127 but with a different centre bore: their wheels need a hub centric ring if their centre bore is larger than 78.1 mm, and will not fit if it is smaller.
A Pontiac Catalina (1971–1976) can have a 5x127 or 5x120.65 PCD depending on the version: check on an original wheel.
Does a Pontiac Catalina need a hub centric ring?
The centre bore (hub diameter) of a Pontiac Catalina is 78.1 or 70.3 mm. A wheel with a larger centre bore is fitted with a hub centric ring that brings it down to the hub diameter. A wheel with a smaller centre bore cannot be fitted.
Which vehicles have the same PCD as a Pontiac Catalina?
With the same PCD (5x127) and the same centre bore (78.1 mm), these include: Buick Roadmaster, Chevrolet Astro Van, GMC Safari, Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham. Offset, width and rim diameter still need checking for each vehicle.
