Expert Buying Guide for 1994 Dodge Grand Caravan Passenger
For your 1994 Dodge Grand Caravan Passenger, the bolt pattern is 5x114.3 with a critical center bore of 71.5mm. Aftermarket wheels often have a larger bore, so hub-centric rings (71.5mm to wheel bore) are mandatory to prevent vibration and hub damage. The factory offset is 40mm; deviations beyond ±5mm may cause rubbing or clearance issues. Always use lug nuts with the correct thread pitch (12x1.5) and proper seat type—factory wheels use a conical (60-degree) seat. Never mix seat types; incorrect lug nuts can loosen or damage the wheel. Verify that aftermarket wheels are load-rated for your vehicle's weight.
