These are vehicle-year records whose recorded OEM ranges overlap this 2003 Acura MDX. Overlap is not a guarantee that a specific wheel will install. Selected-wheel comparison is in the calculator below.
Evaluated 77 donor years. Listed 24 eligible overlaps (not all evaluated years are compatible). Showing all listed.
Years grouped because recorded compatibility evidence is equivalent. Each year keeps its own page.
Approximate position vs the mid OEM package: outer change -6.35 mm, inner change -6.35 mm. This uses aggregated width/offset ranges, not a specific wheel.
Years grouped because recorded compatibility evidence is equivalent. Each year keeps its own page.
Donor width/offset sits outside the known OEM envelope for this vehicle.
Recorded vehicle-side thread for the 2003 Acura MDX is M12x1.5. This donor year is recorded as M14x1.5. That is the vehicle stud/nut thread, not an intrinsic thread stamped on the wheel. Hardware must match this vehicle’s studs and the selected wheel’s seat and engagement. Existing hardware may be reusable if it already matches. Seat style is not in this dataset, so products are not a verified fit.
Donor width/offset sits outside the known OEM envelope for this vehicle. Recorded vehicle-side thread differs (M14x1.5 on the donor year vs M12x1.5 on the target vehicle). Hardware must match the target vehicle’s studs and the selected wheel’s seat. Existing hardware may be reusable if it already matches. Seat style is not confirmed in this dataset.
Years grouped because recorded compatibility evidence is equivalent. Each year keeps its own page.
Recorded OEM bolt pattern, center bore, and width/offset ranges overlap. This is not a guarantee that every wheel from the donor year fits this vehicle.
