Expert Buying Guide for 1996 Dodge Stealth
For your 1996 Dodge Stealth, the 5x114.3 bolt pattern is shared with 1992-1996 models. The 67.1mm center bore is critical; aftermarket wheels often have a larger bore, requiring hub-centric rings to prevent vibration. Offset is sensitive—stick to 35-45mm to avoid rubbing or clearance issues. Always use lug nuts with the correct 12x1.50 thread pitch and a 60-degree conical seat; ball-seat or incorrect pitch can cause wheel loss. Re-torque after 50 miles of driving.

Quick Tips & Safety Warnings
- ✅ Re-torque lug nuts to 80-90 ft-lbs after 50 miles.
- ✅ Verify aftermarket wheels have a 67.1mm bore or use hub-centric rings.
- ✅ Avoid spacers; if needed, ensure they are hub-centric and do not exceed 5mm thickness.
- ⚠️ 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).

What is the bolt pattern for a 1996 Dodge Stealth?
The 1996 Dodge Stealth uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern (also called lug pattern or PCD). The center bore is 67.1mm and the offset is 40mm.
What other years of Dodge Stealth have the same bolt pattern as the 1996?
The Dodge Stealth uses the 5x114.3 pattern from 1992 through 1996. Wheels from any of these model years are dimensionally compatible with the 1996, provided the offset and center bore also match.
Why is matching the 67.1mm center bore important for the 1996 Stealth?
The 67.1mm 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.
What lug nut size does the 1996 Dodge Stealth use?
The 1996 Dodge Stealth uses N 12x1.50 lug nuts. Always verify the thread pitch and seat type (cone, ball, or flat) match your aftermarket wheels.
How do I measure the bolt pattern on my 1996 Dodge?
The 1996 Stealth uses a 5x114.3 pattern. For 4, 6, or 8-lug wheels, measure center-to-center across opposite holes. For 5-lug, measure from the center of one hole to the back of the opposite hole.
What does 40mm offset mean for the 1996 Stealth?
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.
