⚠ This model comes with 5x100 or 5x120.65 or 5x115 depending on the year or version. Check on an original wheel or with a professional before buying anything.
A Pontiac Grand Am (1964–1980) uses a 5x100 or 5x120.65 or 5x115 PCD and a centre bore of 70.3 or 57.1 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 57.1 mm or more. If it is larger (as with most aftermarket wheels), add a hub centric ring wheel centre bore → 57.1 mm.
Offset: the original is ET8 to ET42. Compare your future wheel with the offset calculator (your vehicle is already selected) to see how many millimetres further in or out it will sit.
Fixings: thread Ecrous - 12x1.50, tightened to 135 Nm. The nuts or bolts must have the same seat (conical, spherical or flat) as the wheel.
Tyres: original fitment is 225/70R15, 205/70R13, 185/75R14, 215/60R15. For another size, check the diameter difference with the equivalence calculator (under 3 % recommended).

Vehicles with the same PCD and centre bore
Same 5x100 PCD and same 57.1 mm centre bore: wheels from these vehicles bolt on and centre on a Pontiac Grand Am without rings. Offset, width, diameter and caliper clearance still need checking.
These vehicles also use 5x100 but with a different centre bore: their wheels need a hub centric ring if their centre bore is larger than 57.1 mm, and will not fit if it is smaller.
A Pontiac Grand Am (1964–1980) can have a 5x100 or 5x120.65 or 5x115 PCD depending on the version: check on an original wheel.
Does a Pontiac Grand Am need a hub centric ring?
The centre bore (hub diameter) of a Pontiac Grand Am is 70.3 or 57.1 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.
What offset (ET) for a Pontiac Grand Am?
The recorded original offset is ET8 to ET42 depending on the version and wheel size. A lower ET pushes the wheel outwards, a higher ET pulls it inwards: check wheel well and caliper clearance before making any change.
What tightening torque for the wheels of a Pontiac Grand Am?
The specified tightening torque is 135 Nm for Ecrous - 12x1.50 fixings. Tighten in a criss-cross pattern with a torque wrench and check the tightness again after about fifty kilometres.
Which vehicles have the same PCD as a Pontiac Grand Am?
With the same PCD (5x100) and the same centre bore (57.1 mm), these include: Pontiac Sunfire, Pontiac Sunbird, Pontiac Fiero 5x100, MG Astor. Offset, width and rim diameter still need checking for each vehicle.
