2004 Mitsubishi Lancer — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the bolt pattern for a 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer?
The 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer uses a 4x100 bolt pattern (also called lug pattern or PCD). The center bore is 56.1mm and the offset is 45mm.
What other years of Mitsubishi Lancer have the same bolt pattern as the 2004?
The Mitsubishi Lancer uses the 4x100 pattern from 2002 through 2004. Wheels from any of these model years are dimensionally compatible with the 2004, provided the offset and center bore also match.
Will 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer wheels fit a 2004 model?
No. The 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer switched to a 4x114.3 bolt pattern, which is not compatible with the 2004 model's 4x100. Using mismatched patterns is unsafe.
What is the center bore of a 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer?
The factory center bore (hub bore) for the 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer is 56.1mm. If your aftermarket wheels have a larger hub bore, you will need hub-centric rings to prevent vibration.
Can I use spacers on my 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer?
Yes, but ensure the wheel spacers match the 4x100 bolt pattern and 56.1mm center bore. Also verify that you have enough thread engagement for your N 12x1.50 hardware.
Why is matching the 56.1mm center bore important for the 2004 Lancer?
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.
Fitment Checklist Before You Buy Wheels
- 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).
- This model has multiple bolt-pattern records across years. Match wheels to exact year/trim before purchase.
