2006 Eclipse — Year-Specific Fitment Context
The 2006 model year is the final year of the Mitsubishi Eclipse's 5x114.3 bolt pattern run (since 1992). Wheels from any 1992–2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse are cross-compatible with the 2006 model. Important: starting in 2007, Mitsubishi switched to 4x100 — those wheels will not fit the 2006 model. Across its full production run (1992–2012), the Eclipse has also used: 4x100.

Expert Buying Guide for 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
For your 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse, the bolt pattern is 5x114.3, shared with 1992–2006 models. The center bore is 67.1mm; aftermarket wheels often have a larger bore, requiring hub-centric rings to prevent vibration and ensure proper load transfer. Offset is critical: stock is 46mm, but a range of 35–50mm is acceptable depending on width and tire size. Always use the correct lug nuts: M12x1.5 thread pitch, with a conical (60-degree) or ball seat matching the wheel. Avoid wheels from 2007+ Eclipse (4x100). Re-torque after 50–100 miles.

Quick Tips & Safety Warnings
- ✅ Use hub-centric rings (67.1mm to wheel bore) for aftermarket wheels to avoid vibration.
- ✅ Re-torque lug nuts to 80–90 ft-lbs after 50–100 miles of driving.
- ✅ Verify offset: staying within 35–50mm prevents rubbing on struts or fenders.
- ⚠️ 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.

Will wheels from another Mitsubishi fit my 2006 Eclipse?
Only if they share the exact same 5x114.3 bolt pattern, a compatible offset, and a center bore equal to or larger than 67.1mm.
What is the center bore of a 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse?
The factory center bore (hub bore) for the 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse is 67.1mm. If your aftermarket wheels have a larger hub bore, you will need hub-centric rings to prevent vibration.
How do I measure the bolt pattern on my 2006 Mitsubishi?
The 2006 Eclipse 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.
