Expert Buying Guide for 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse
For your 2000 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 (73.1mm), requiring hub-centric rings to prevent vibration and ensure proper load transfer. Offset is sensitive; the factory 46mm offset should be maintained within ±5mm to avoid rubbing or clearance issues with struts and fenders. Always use M12x1.50 lug nuts with the correct seat type—factory wheels use a conical (60-degree) seat, while aftermarket wheels may require ball or tapered seats. Never mix seat types, as improper engagement can cause lug nuts to loosen or fail. Re-torque after 50-100 miles of driving.

Quick Tips & Safety Warnings
- ✅ Re-torque lug nuts to 80-90 ft-lbs after 50-100 miles to ensure proper seating.
- ✅ Avoid wheels with offset below 40mm on lowered cars to prevent fender rubbing.
- ✅ Verify hub-centric ring inner diameter matches 67.1mm exactly; plastic rings are acceptable for street use.
- ⚠️ 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.

2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the bolt pattern for a 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse?
The 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern (also called lug pattern or PCD). The center bore is 67.1mm and the offset is 46mm.
What other years of Mitsubishi Eclipse have the same bolt pattern as the 2000?
The Mitsubishi Eclipse uses the 5x114.3 pattern from 1992 through 2006. Wheels from any of these model years are dimensionally compatible with the 2000, provided the offset and center bore also match.
What is the factory wheel offset for a 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse?
The OEM offset for the 2000 Eclipse is typically around 46mm. Depending on wheel width, a deviation of ±5mm is usually acceptable, but verify suspension clearance.
What is the PCD for a 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse?
PCD stands for Pitch Circle Diameter, which is the same as the bolt pattern. For the 2000 Eclipse, the PCD is 5x114.3.
Why is matching the 67.1mm center bore important for the 2000 Eclipse?
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.
Do 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipses use lug bolts or lug nuts?
The 2000 Eclipse requires M 12x1.50 hardware. Check your specific trim to ensure you use the correct conical or spherical seating.
