1999 Chrysler Sebring Wheel Interchange

1999 Chrysler Sebring Wheel Interchange, Specs, And Fitment Guide

Known OEM Fitment For 1999 Chrysler Sebring

This model year was offered in multiple trims and packages, and factory wheel and tire sizes can vary. The values below reflect data available for at least one 1999 Sebring configuration. If your trim differs, verify with your driver door jamb tire placard, owner’s manual, or an OEM parts source before you buy.

Note: Seeing both a 17 inch wheel size and a 205/65R15 tire size indicates more than one OEM package existed. Confirm your exact stock size on the door placard and use the on-page calculator to compare alternatives against your vehicle.

How To Use The Wheel Interchange Calculator

• Set Installed on to 1999 Chrysler Sebring.
• Pick a donor in Wheels from to compare another vehicle’s wheels to your Sebring.
• Use Custom wheel size to test different rim diameter, width, and offset values.
• Use Custom tire size to try alternate section width and aspect ratio combinations.
• When you change rim diameter, the tool updates tire diameter in the comparison so you can keep overall rolling size close to stock.
• A practical target is to keep overall tire diameter within about 3 percent of your OEM size to help maintain speedometer accuracy and clearance. Always verify against your own OEM size before deciding.

Fitment Checklist Before You Buy

• Bolt pattern: Must be 5x100.
• Center bore: Hub is 57.1 mm. Aftermarket wheels with a larger bore need hub-centric rings to 57.1 mm. Smaller bores will not fit.
• Thread size: M12 x 1.5. Match lug nuts to wheel seat type per wheel manufacturer guidance.
• Offset: OEM reference is ET 45 mm. If choosing a different offset, use the calculator to understand how changes may affect inner and outer clearance. Test fit before final mounting.
• Wheel width and diameter: Verify clearance to fenders, struts, control arms, and brake components at full lock and full compression.
• Tire size: Choose a tire that keeps overall diameter close to your OEM size listed on your door placard. Use the calculator to compare.
• Load rating: Wheels and tires must meet or exceed your vehicle’s axle and GVWR requirements.
• Brake fit: If you change wheel diameter or spoke design, confirm caliper and rotor clearance.
• TPMS: If equipped, plan for sensor transfer or new compatible sensors in the new wheels.

Plus Sizing And Common Upgrades

The 1999 Sebring appears with both 15 inch and 17 inch factory references in the available data. If your placard shows a 15 inch OEM size such as 205/65R15, a typical upgrade path is a Plus 1 or Plus 2 move. Use the calculator to:

• Start with your actual OEM wheel and tire size from the door placard.
• Test a 16 or 17 inch rim in Custom wheel size, keeping width and offset changes conservative.
• Adjust Custom tire size so the overall diameter remains close to OEM to reduce rubbing risk and speedometer error.

Keep the offset near the OEM 45 mm reference and increase width cautiously. Even small offset or width changes can affect inner clearance to struts and outer fender poke. Always test fit.

Installation Tips

• Test fit one front and one rear wheel without tires when possible to check hub engagement and brake clearance.
• Clean the hub face and the wheel mounting pad so the wheel seats flush. Remove rust scale carefully.
• If the wheel bore is larger than 57.1 mm, install 57.1 mm inner diameter hub-centric rings that match your wheel’s outer bore.
• Hand start all M12 x 1.5 lug nuts to avoid cross-threading. Do not lubricate studs or lug seats unless the OEM specifically instructs it.
• Snug lugs in a star pattern and torque to the OEM specification from your owner’s manual. Re-torque after 50 to 100 miles.
• After mounting, turn the steering from lock to lock and drive over a few bumps slowly to confirm there is no rubbing.

Tools And Helpful Supplies

• 1/2 inch drive torque wrench
• M12 x 1.5 lug nuts
