| − | The original Buick wheels are 4 on 4-1/2" pattern. The GM rearend uses a 5 on 4-3/4" pattern. The axles can be redrilled to reuse the original 13" Buick wheels, or the front drum brakes can be changed to a 5 bolt pattern or better yet, swap the front drum brakes to disc brakes having the correct 5 on 4-3/4" pattern to match the replacement rearend. Or two different spare tires can be carried. | + | The original Buick wheels are 4 on 4-1/2" pattern. The GM rearend uses a 5 on 4-3/4" pattern.
