* Bolt Pattern: The most common bolt pattern for a 1989 Caprice is 5x4.75" (sometimes listed as 5x120.65mm). However, double-check your specific Caprice's documentation or the hub itself to confirm. Some variations might exist.
* Wheel Diameter: This is the overall diameter of the wheel, typically ranging from 14" to 17" (or even larger with modifications). Larger diameter wheels may require modifications to accommodate the increased size.
* Wheel Offset: This specifies the distance between the wheel's mounting surface and its centerline. The offset for a 1989 Caprice varies depending on the original equipment and any aftermarket modifications already done. An incorrect offset can cause rubbing issues.
To find compatible wheels:
1. Determine your precise bolt pattern, wheel diameter, and offset. Look on the inside of your existing wheel or consult a parts catalog specific to your 1989 Caprice.
2. Use online wheel fitment calculators: Many websites allow you to input your vehicle's specifications and search for compatible wheels. These calculators often include details about offset and other important factors.
3. Check the wheel's specifications: When you find a wheel you like, make sure it matches your Caprice's bolt pattern, diameter, and offset. Also verify the wheel's load capacity to ensure it can handle your vehicle's weight.
Without knowing your exact wheel specifications, giving a definitive list of compatible cars is impossible. However, many GM cars from the same era (late 1980s and early 1990s) might share the same bolt pattern, but the offset and diameter may differ. You *cannot* assume compatibility just because it's another GM car.
Always prioritize safety and ensure the wheels you choose are properly sized and fit your vehicle before installation.
