Expert Buying Guide for 1994 Dodge Caravan Passenger
For your 1994 Dodge Caravan Passenger, the 5x100 bolt pattern is used from 1992–1997, ensuring cross-compatibility within those years. The center bore is 57.1mm; aftermarket wheels often have a larger bore, requiring hub-centric rings to prevent vibration and ensure proper load distribution. Offset is critical: the factory spec is 40mm. Sticking close to this range (35–45mm) maintains steering geometry and prevents rubbing. Always use the correct lug nuts: M12x1.5 thread pitch with a conical (60-degree) seat. Never use ball-seat lug nuts, as they can loosen. Re-torque after 50–100 miles. Note: 1998–2007 models use 5x114.3, so those wheels are not compatible.
