2002 Chrysler Voyager Wheel Interchange

2002 Chrysler Voyager Wheel Fitment Guide

Known OEM Fitment For 2002 Chrysler Voyager

The information below reflects data available for the 2002 Chrysler Voyager. It may be partial. Trims and option packages can change wheel and tire specifications. Always confirm against your door-jamb tire placard, owner’s manual, and the on-page calculator before purchasing.

Note the mix of wheel and tire data shown above. This indicates that multiple OEM setups existed. Use your door placard and the calculator to verify which configuration matches your specific van.

How To Use The Wheel Interchange Calculator

The calculator compares a donor wheel or tire to your vehicle so you can predict clearance and speedometer effects.

• Step 1 - Find your current OEM size on the door-jamb placard and enter it under Installed on your vehicle.
• Step 2 - Enter the donor wheel and tire under Wheels from. You can also enter a custom wheel size and custom tire size.
• Step 3 - Adjust rim diameter, width, and offset. When you change rim diameter, the calculator updates tire diameter in the comparison.
• Step 4 - Review the differences in overall diameter, inner and outer clearance, and offset position. Aim to keep overall tire diameter within about 3 percent of OEM unless you plan to re-calibrate.
• Step 5 - Verify brake caliper and suspension clearance visually and with a physical test fit before buying.

If your placard shows 215/70R15, use that as the baseline tire. If your van currently has 17x6.5 ET40 wheels, set that as the baseline wheel to compare against alternatives.

Fitment Checklist Before You Buy

• Bolt pattern - Must be 5x114.3 to mount correctly.
• Center bore - Hub is 71.6 mm. Aftermarket wheels with a larger bore will need hub-centric rings sized to 71.6 mm.
• Thread size - M12 x 1.5. Match lug nuts to the wheel’s seat style and your studs. Do not mix seat types.
• Offset and backspacing - Known baseline is ET40 with about 4.82 in backspacing on a 17x6.5 wheel. Use the calculator when changing width or offset to keep inner and outer clearances safe.
• Brake and suspension clearance - Check spoke-to-caliper, barrel-to-caliper, and inner sidewall-to-strut clearances. Spin-test the wheel by hand after mounting to ensure no contact.
• Tire diameter - Keep overall diameter close to OEM to protect speedometer accuracy, ABS behavior, and transmission shift points.
• Load rating - Wheels and tires must meet or exceed the Voyager’s GAWR and GVWR requirements. Check tire load index and wheel load rating.
• Stud engagement - Ensure full nut-to-stud engagement at least equal to the stud diameter. Do not rely on a few threads.
• Lug seat type - Verify conical, ball, or mag seat by inspecting OEM lugs and wheel seats. Match exactly.
• TPMS - If your van is equipped with TPMS, plan sensor transfer or replacement and relearn as needed.
• Test fit - Always test fit a single wheel on the front and rear before mounting tires on a full set.

Plus Sizing And Common Upgrades

Plus sizing changes wheel diameter and tire profile to maintain a similar overall tire diameter and proper clearances. Start with your door-placard size as the baseline in the calculator. When exploring larger wheels or wider tires:

• Stay near OEM tire diameter - Target within about 3 percent to minimize speedometer error.
• Balance width with offset - Wider wheels push the tire outward and inward. Use the calculator to confirm fender and strut clearance.
• Mind load and speed ratings - Minivan duty requires adequate load index. Do not downgrade.
• Steering lock and compression - Check clearance at full lock and with suspension compressed. Look for contact with liners or sway bar.
• Spacers and adapters - Avoid unless absolutely necessary. If used, ensure hub-centric fit and longer studs with proper thread engagement.

Because factory configurations varied, verify whether your Voyager baseline is a 15 inch tire setup or a 17 inch wheel setup, then build your plus-size plan from that known starting point using the calculator.

Installation Tips

• Prepare - Park on level ground, use wheel chocks, and support the van with rated jack stands. Never rely on a jack alone.
• Clean the hub - Remove rust from the hub face and center pilot. A clean, flat hub prevents vibration and torque loss.
• Dry threads - Install lug nuts on clean, dry studs unless Chrysler service info specifies otherwise. Do not lubricate lug threads or seats.
• Hand start - Thread each lug nut by hand to avoid cross-threading.
• Star pattern - Snug lugs in a star pattern, lower the vehicle, then torque in a star pattern to the factory spec from your owner’s manual or service manual.
• Re-torque - Re-check torque after 50 to 100 miles of driving.
• Hub-centric rings - If your aftermarket wheel bore is larger than 71.6 mm, install proper rings for vibration-free operation.
• TPMS - If equipped, transfer or install compatible sensors and perform the relearn procedure as required.

FAQs

What is the bolt pattern on the 2002 Chrysler Voyager
5x114.3.

What center bore does the 2002 Voyager use
71.6 mm. Use hub-centric rings if your aftermarket wheel bore is larger.

What is the lug thread size
M12 x 1.5. Verify your lug nut seat style matches the wheel.

What is the factory wheel offset
The available data shows ET40 on a 17x6.5 wheel. If your trim differs, confirm with the door placard and OEM service information, then use the calculator to compare.

What tire size is stock for this van
We have a 215/70R15 entry in the available data. Your trim may differ. Always use the door-jamb placard as the authoritative source.

Can I run a different wheel diameter like 16 or 18 inches
Possibly, depending on brake clearance and overall tire diameter. Use the calculator to keep overall diameter near OEM and physically test fit to confirm caliper and fender clearance.

Do I need hub-centric rings
Only if your wheel’s center bore is larger than 71.6 mm. Select rings that reduce the wheel bore to 71.6 mm. If the wheel bore is exactly 71.6 mm, no ring is needed.

What torque should I use on the lug nuts
The exact torque is not provided here and can vary. Use the specification in your owner’s manual or OEM service manual for the 2002 Voyager.
