Expert Buying Guide for 2016 Mitsubishi i-MiEV
For the 2016 Mitsubishi i-MiEV, the bolt pattern is 4x100 with a critical center bore of 56.1mm. Aftermarket wheels often have a larger bore, so hub-centric rings (56.1mm ID to wheel bore OD) are mandatory to prevent vibration and ensure proper load distribution. Offset is sensitive; the factory spec is 35mm, but a range of 30-40mm is acceptable. Exceeding this may cause rubbing or clearance issues. Lug nuts are M12x1.5 with a conical (60-degree) seat. Never use ball-seat or acorn-style nuts, as they can loosen or damage the wheel. Always torque to 80-90 ft-lbs and re-torque after 50 miles.

Quick Tips & Safety Warnings
- ✅ Re-torque lug nuts to 80-90 ft-lbs after 50 miles of driving to account for wheel settling.
- ✅ Avoid using universal fitment wheels without verifying center bore; always use hub-centric rings for 56.1mm bore.
- ✅ Check for brake caliper clearance when using aftermarket wheels; the i-MiEV has small brakes but offset changes can cause interference.
- ⚠️ Verify thread pitch before installation; M12x1.25 and M12x1.5 are not interchangeable.
- ⚠️ Torque lugs in a star pattern to 80 ft-lbs (108 Nm), then re-check torque after 50-100 km (30-60 miles).

2016 Mitsubishi i-MiEV — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the bolt pattern for a 2016 Mitsubishi i-MiEV?
The 2016 Mitsubishi i-MiEV uses a 4x100 bolt pattern (also called lug pattern or PCD). The center bore is 56.1mm and the offset is 35mm.
What other years of Mitsubishi i-MiEV have the same bolt pattern as the 2016?
The Mitsubishi i-MiEV uses the 4x100 pattern from 2012 through 2017. Wheels from any of these model years are dimensionally compatible with the 2016, provided the offset and center bore also match.
What is the center bore of a 2016 Mitsubishi i-MiEV?
The factory center bore (hub bore) for the 2016 Mitsubishi i-MiEV is 56.1mm. If your aftermarket wheels have a larger hub bore, you will need hub-centric rings to prevent vibration.
Why is matching the 56.1mm center bore important for the 2016 i-MiEV?
The 56.1mm 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 is the factory wheel offset for a 2016 Mitsubishi i-MiEV?
The OEM offset for the 2016 i-MiEV is typically around 35mm. Depending on wheel width, a deviation of ±5mm is usually acceptable, but verify suspension clearance.
How do I measure the bolt pattern on my 2016 Mitsubishi?
The 2016 i-MiEV uses a 4x100 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.
