I did have a 301 powered 79 Catalina coupe that had 5X4.75 though
By that time I think if you had a wagon or police/taxi you got a heavier duty suspension, IE, 11x2 1/2 rear drums vs. 9x2, 12in front rotor w/D52 calipers vs. the 10 3/4 with metric calipers, 5 on 5 lug pattern and so on.

The early eighties Buick Estate wagons had a version of the cast (Buick) turbo wheels that were probably 5x5.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
