An offset of 40mm means the wheel's mounting surface is 40mm away from its centerline. Changing this value drastically can affect suspension geometry and wheel bearing wear on your Dodge.

Do 1996 Dodge Neons use lug bolts or lug nuts?
The 1996 Neon requires N 12x1.50 hardware. Check your specific trim to ensure you use the correct conical or spherical seating.
Why is matching the 57.1mm center bore important for the 1996 Neon?
The 57.1mm 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.
