1996 Chrysler LHS — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the bolt pattern for a 1996 Chrysler LHS?
The 1996 Chrysler LHS uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern (also called lug pattern or PCD). The center bore is 71.6mm and the offset is 40mm.
What other years of Chrysler LHS have the same bolt pattern as the 1996?
The Chrysler LHS uses the 5x114.3 pattern from 1994 through 2001. Wheels from any of these model years are dimensionally compatible with the 1996, provided the offset and center bore also match.
How tight should I torque the lug nuts on a 1996 Chrysler LHS?
Refer to your owner's manual for exact specs, but always tighten the N 12x1.50 hardware in a star or crisscross pattern. Re-torque after the first 50 miles of driving.
What is the PCD for a 1996 Chrysler LHS?
PCD stands for Pitch Circle Diameter, which is the same as the bolt pattern. For the 1996 LHS, the PCD is 5x114.3.
Why is matching the 71.6mm center bore important for the 1996 LHS?
The 71.6mm center bore ensures the wheel is perfectly centered on the hub. If the wheel is lug-centric instead of hub-centric, you may experience steering wheel vibration at highway speeds.
Do 1996 Chrysler LHSs use lug bolts or lug nuts?
The 1996 LHS requires N 12x1.50 hardware. Check your specific trim to ensure you use the correct conical or spherical seating.
Fitment Checklist Before You Buy Wheels
- Verify thread pitch before installation; M12x1.25 and M12x1.5 are not interchangeable.
- Confirm bolt pattern carefully. 5x114.3 is often confused with other common 5-lug patterns.
- Torque lugs in a star pattern to 80 ft-lbs (108 Nm), then re-check torque after 50-100 km (30-60 miles).
Editorial Fitment Notes
Chrysler LHS is generally consistent in bolt-pattern records across model years, but offset and hardware should still be validated before purchase.
- Observed production years in our database: 1994-2001 (7 model years).
- Observed bolt-pattern variants: 1 (5x114.3).
- Observed total offset span across years: 0.0 mm.
- Observed center-bore variants: 1 | lug-size variants: 1.
