Expert Buying Guide for 1996 Eagle Summit
For your 1996 Eagle Summit, the 4x114.3 bolt pattern is shared with 1992-1996 models. The critical center bore of 67.1mm requires hub-centric rings for aftermarket wheels to prevent vibration. Offset must stay within 35-45mm to avoid rubbing or clearance issues. Always use M12x1.5 lug nuts with the correct seat type (cone or ball) matching your wheels. Improper lug nuts can cause wheel loosening. Verify wheel load rating meets or exceeds OEM specs. Re-torque after 50-100 miles.
