There was also the 4 x 4.5" bolt circle used on EM Corvairs and 4 and 6 cylinder Chevy IIs. Also, wasn't there also a 5 x 5.5" used on some big cars? Not sure about that one...
And then there was that 8 x HUGE bolt circle that Pontiac used for a couple of years on their big cars with the aluminum brake drumshub assemblies...

The issue is not the 5 x4.75 (aka 120.65) but the 14". I suspect the latest would have sometime been in the mid-80s for example the 1987 Pontiac Grand Prix still was available with 14s. 
 
AFAIK GM only used three bolt circles on domestic RWD cars, 5x5 for big cars (B body), 4x4 on sub-compacts, and 5x4.75 for everything else.
