Expert Buying Guide for 1994 Mitsubishi Eclipse
For your 1994 Mitsubishi Eclipse, the 5x114.3 bolt pattern is shared with 1992–2006 models, but the 67.1mm center bore is critical. Aftermarket wheels often have a larger bore (e.g., 73.1mm), requiring hub-centric rings to prevent vibrations and ensure proper load transfer. The factory offset is 46mm; deviations beyond ±5mm may cause rubbing or clearance issues. Always use M12x1.50 lug nuts with the correct seat type (conical or ball) matching the wheel. Improper lug nuts can lead to wheel loosening. Verify all specs before installation.
Historical Fitment Data Reference

- Observed center-bore variants for this model: 2
- Observed lug-size variants for this model: 3
- Observed total offset span across years: 92.0 mm
Quick Tips & Safety Warnings
- ✅ Re-torque lug nuts to 80-90 ft-lbs after 50-100 miles of driving to account for settling.
- ✅ Avoid using universal fit wheels without hub-centric rings; they can cause steering wheel wobble.
- ✅ Check for caliper clearance when using wheels with offset below 40mm; aftermarket brakes may require spacers.
- ⚠️ 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).
- ⚠️ This model has multiple bolt-pattern records across years. Match wheels to exact year/trim before purchase.

What other years of Mitsubishi Eclipse have the same bolt pattern as the 1994?
The Mitsubishi Eclipse uses the 5x114.3 pattern from 1992 through 2006. Wheels from any of these model years are dimensionally compatible with the 1994, provided the offset and center bore also match.
Can I use spacers on my 1994 Mitsubishi Eclipse?
Yes, but ensure the wheel spacers match the 5x114.3 bolt pattern and 67.1mm center bore. Also verify that you have enough thread engagement for your M 12x1.50 hardware.
What lug nut size does the 1994 Mitsubishi Eclipse use?

What does 46mm offset mean for the 1994 Eclipse?
An offset of 46mm means the wheel's mounting surface is 46mm away from its centerline. Changing this value drastically can affect suspension geometry and wheel bearing wear on your Mitsubishi.
Do 1994 Mitsubishi Eclipses use lug bolts or lug nuts?
The 1994 Eclipse requires M 12x1.50 hardware. Check your specific trim to ensure you use the correct conical or spherical seating.
