How to Read Wheel Offset & Measurements
Use these two references before ordering: the left diagram shows where each spec (PCD, center bore, offset, width and diameter) is measured on the wheel; the right diagram shows how positive, zero and negative offset shift the wheel face relative to the hub centerline.
ANKUSI Engineering Expert Advice
Coupes and performance platforms are where rotational mass shows up fastest — in acceleration, in braking, and in how quickly the chassis changes direction. Forging lets us build to the same strength spec as the factory wheel at a meaningfully lower rotational weight, which is where the performance gain actually comes from, not just the visual one.
The Cadillac Eldorado runs a 5x127 bolt pattern, 78.1mm center bore, and a 15x6J at ET15, front and rear, wheel from the factory. Our Flush Fitment reference is 17x8J ET0, which tucks the tire under the fender lip on a stock-height Cadillac Eldorado. Our Maximum Aggressive reference is 18x9J ET-10 — beyond that offset, expect rubbing against the inner fender liner under compression without further trimming.
Cadillac Eldorado OE Wheel Specs
The 1967 Cadillac Eldorado (Coupe) uses a 5x127 bolt pattern with a 78.1mm center bore. Factory wheels are 15x6J at ET15.
Why the factory spec works for most owners:
- Keeps unsprung weight low to preserve the factory handling balance
- Matches the wider, performance-oriented tire sizing typical of this platform
- Maintains clearance for the factory brake package and suspension geometry
- Balances grip with ride comfort for daily and spirited driving
ANKUSI builds these wheels — we are the forging factory, not a reseller. For the Cadillac Eldorado (1967) we drill the 5x127 pattern and cut the centre bore to 78.1mm on our own CNC line, so the wheel hub-centres on the car with no spacer rings, in whatever diameter, width and offset you specify.

Flush Fitment
For a flush look with minimal rubbing, 17x8J ET0 is the recommended starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Cadillac Eldorado.
Maximum Aggressive Fitment
18x9J ET-10 is a more aggressive reference setup. Beyond this, expect rubbing under compression without fender rolling or camber correction.

Decision Guide
1
What's your primary use? Daily commuting → Tier A/B. Weekend street driving → Tier B/C. Show or occasional track use → Tier D/E.
2
What's your budget? Under $800 → Tier A. $800-3,400 → Tier B/C. $3,400+ → Tier D/E.
3
How much does fuel economy matter? Very important → Tier A. Somewhat important → Tier B/C. Not a priority → Tier D/E.
4
Still unsure? Tier C (Balanced / Flush Fit) is the default choice for most Cadillac Eldorado owners.
Offset & Backspacing Reference
Backspacing is calculated as wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance):
- OE: 15x6J ET15 → ~4.09″ backspacing
- Flush: 17x8J ET0 → ~4.5″ backspacing
- Max: 18x9J ET-10 → ~4.61″ backspacing
A Note on Clearance
Final clearance depends on the exact tire model, suspension height, brake package, alignment and vehicle tolerances. A physical test fit is recommended before production.
Want to check a different width or offset before you order? Use our Offset & Backspacing Calculator to solve the numbers yourself, or looking for your exact Cadillac spec, or want a wheel built to a custom offset for your Cadillac Eldorado? Contact ANKUSI with your bolt pattern and offset target and we will confirm the correct forged wheel spec for your build.
Custom Forged Wheels for the Cadillac Eldorado (1967)
Everything above is reference data. If you want wheels actually built to it, that is what ANKUSI does: we are a forged wheel factory in Guangzhou, China, IATF 16949 and ISO 9001 certified, forging on our own 10,000-ton press and producing over 120,000 wheels a year. Forging blank, CNC machining, finishing, coating and inspection all happen in the same building — nothing is subcontracted and nothing is relabelled from another manufacturer.
Every set is cut to order, so the 5x127 pattern and the 78.1mm centre bore are machined for this car specifically rather than shimmed with adaptor rings. Diameter, width, offset, concavity, monoblock or multi-piece construction and the finish are all yours to choose — most Cadillac orders on this platform land somewhere between the 17x8J ET0 flush setup and the 18x9J ET-10 aggressive setup referenced above.
We do not hold 5x127 wheels on a shelf — they are forged to order, which is why any offset, width and bore combination on this page is buildable rather than limited to a stock list.
Frequently Asked Questions
What bolt pattern (PCD) does the Cadillac Eldorado use?
The 1967 Cadillac Eldorado uses a 5x127 bolt pattern.
How many lug bolts does the Cadillac Eldorado use?
The Cadillac Eldorado uses a 5-lug bolt pattern (5x127), so you need a 5-lug forged wheel to bolt straight on.
What is the center bore size on the Cadillac Eldorado?
The Cadillac Eldorado's center bore is 78.1mm. If an aftermarket wheel has a larger center bore than this, hub-centric rings are recommended so the wheel centers on the hub itself rather than relying on the lug bolts alone.
What size are the factory (stock) wheels on the Cadillac Eldorado?
Factory wheels on the Cadillac Eldorado are 15x6J at ET15.
What is the biggest wheel size I can fit on my Cadillac Eldorado without rubbing?
The most aggressive fitment we recommend without fender work is 18x9J at ET-10 offset. Going beyond this typically causes rubbing under compression unless you roll the fenders or add camber correction.
What does a flush wheel fitment look like on the Cadillac Eldorado?
For a flush look with minimal to no rubbing, we recommend 17x8J at ET0 offset as a starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Cadillac Eldorado.
Do I need wheel spacers for my Cadillac Eldorado?
No. ANKUSI forges each wheel to your exact target offset, including the flush or max specs above, so you get the correct fitment without stacking spacers. Spacers are typically only used to push out an existing OE-offset wheel without replacing it, which isn't necessary when you're ordering a custom-offset forged wheel.
How do I calculate wheel backspacing for my Cadillac Eldorado?
Backspacing (in inches) = wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance). For example, the flush spec above works out to roughly 4.5" of backspacing.
What's the difference between wheel offset and backspacing?
Offset is the distance in millimeters from the wheel's true centerline to its mounting face (positive offset pulls the wheel in, negative pushes it out). Backspacing is the distance in inches from the mounting face to the back edge of the wheel barrel. They describe the same fitment from two different reference points, which is why ANKUSI lists both above — some shops and tuning guides quote offset, others quote backspacing.
Can I run staggered wheels (different sizes front and rear) on my Cadillac Eldorado?
The Cadillac Eldorado runs the same wheel size front and rear from the factory, so staggered fitment is not required. ANKUSI can still forge a staggered set (wider rear) on request if you want a more aggressive stance.
Vehicles With the Same Hub as the Cadillac Eldorado (5x127, 78.1 mm Bore)
In our database, 5 other vehicle entries from 3 makes use exactly the same 5x127 bolt pattern and 78.1 mm center bore. Factory wheels from these cars bolt on and center on the hub without rings; offset and width still have to be checked.
5x127 is used by 1.3% of the vehicle pages in our English fitment guide (82 of 6,503); 8.5% of those also use a 78.1 mm center bore.

| 1984 | 5x120.65 | 70.3 mm | 15x6J |
| 2001 | 5x115 | 70.3 mm | 16x7J |
Check the model year before ordering: the specs change — center bore 108 mm → 78.1 mm from 1967; bolt pattern 5x127 → 5x120.65 from 1979; center bore 78.1 mm → 70.3 mm from 1979; bolt pattern 5x120.65 → 5x115 from 2001.
Hub-Centric Rings for a 78.1 mm Center Bore
A wheel with a center bore larger than 78.1 mm needs a hub-centric ring. The most common combinations:
| Wheel bore | Ring size |
|---|---|
| 84.1 mm | 84.1 → 78.1 mm |
| 93.1 mm | 93.1 → 78.1 mm |
| 100.1 mm | 100.1 → 78.1 mm |
| 106.1 mm | 106.1 → 78.1 mm |
ANKUSI forged wheels are bored to exactly 78.1 mm for this vehicle, so no ring is needed.
