Known OEM Fitment For 1999 Dodge Avenger

The data below reflects the OEM specifications we have for the 1999 Dodge Avenger. This list may be partial. If a value is missing or differs on your trim or market, confirm it on your driver door jamb tire placard, in the owner’s manual, through an OEM parts catalog, or by using the on-page calculator to compare against known baselines.

Note: The wheel size shown includes a 15 inch rim while the tire size shown is 195/70R14. This can occur when different trims or packages used different wheel and tire sizes. Use your door placard and the calculator on this page to verify which baseline applies to your vehicle.

How To Use The Wheel Interchange Calculator

The calculator lets you compare a donor setup to your Avenger so you can visualize changes in clearance and diameter before you buy.

• In Wheels from (donor vehicle), enter the specs of the wheel and tire you want to use. You can also enter a Custom wheel size and Custom tire size if you have exact dimensions.
• In Installed on (your vehicle), select 1999 Dodge Avenger and keep or edit the OEM baseline as needed based on your door placard or owner’s manual.
• Adjust rim diameter, rim width, and offset to see inner clearance to the strut, outer poke toward the fender, and changes to scrub and track width.
• Adjust tire section width and aspect ratio. The tool will update overall tire diameter so you can keep speedometer error and gearing changes in check.
• Aim to keep overall tire diameter close to your OEM baseline and ensure both inner and outer clearances remain safe with suspension travel and steering lock.

Fitment Checklist Before You Buy

• Bolt pattern. The Avenger uses 5x114.3. Wheels must match this pattern.
• Center bore. OEM hub bore is 67.1 mm. If your new wheel has a larger bore, use proper hub-centric rings so the wheel centers on the hub. If it is smaller, it will not fit.
• Thread engagement. Studs are M12 x 1.5. Ensure lug nuts match seat type and provide full, safe thread engagement.
• Offset and backspacing. Compare the new wheel’s offset to the OEM ET 40 and backspacing 4.32 in using the calculator to confirm inner clearance to struts and outer fender clearance.
• Brake and hub clearance. Visually confirm spoke and barrel clearance over calipers and that the center bore seats fully on the hub.
• Tire diameter. Keep overall diameter close to OEM to maintain speedometer accuracy and avoid rubbing. Use the calculator to check percentage change.
• Load rating. Wheels and tires must meet or exceed the vehicle’s axle load ratings.
• Test fit. Always test fit one corner before mounting tires or driving.

Plus Sizing And Common Upgrades

If your door placard shows 195/70R14 as the baseline, its overall diameter is about 628.6 mm or 24.75 in. Sizes with a similar diameter that people often evaluate include examples like 205/60R15, 215/50R16, and 225/45R17. These are examples of diameter matches only. They are not guarantees of clearance on your Avenger. Always verify offset, width, and brake and fender clearance with the calculator and a physical test fit.

• 195/70R14 baseline. Approx. 24.75 in diameter.
• 205/60R15. Approx. 24.7 in diameter. Pair with an appropriate 15 inch wheel and compare ET to OEM.
• 215/50R16. Approx. 24.5 in diameter. Verify inner and outer clearance due to typically wider wheels.
• 225/45R17. Approx. 25.0 in diameter. Check offset carefully and confirm fender and strut clearance.

If your placard lists a different OEM tire or rim size for your specific trim, use that value as the baseline in the calculator for best results.

Installation Tips

• Inspect and clean the hub face. Remove rust and debris so the wheel seats flat. A light film of anti-seize on the hub face is optional. Keep it off stud threads.
• If using hub-centric rings, install the correct 67.1 mm inner diameter ring that matches your wheel bore.
• Hand start all lug nuts and snug in a star pattern to center the wheel.
• Lower the vehicle and torque lug nuts in a star pattern to the factory spec from the service manual. Do not guess the torque.
• Re-torque after 50 to 100 miles of driving.
• Set tire pressures to the values on your door placard, not the sidewall max.
• After any significant change in wheel offset or tire size, schedule an alignment check.

Tools And Helpful Supplies

• 1/2 inch drive torque wrench
• M12 x 1.5 lug nuts that match your wheel seat type
• 67.1 mm hub-centric rings if your new wheels have a larger center bore
• Tire pressure gauge

FAQs

• What is the bolt pattern on the 1999 Dodge Avenger?

  It is 5x114.3 based on the data provided. Always verify on your specific car before purchasing wheels.

• What center bore do I need?

  67.1 mm at the hub. If your wheel bore is larger, use correct hub-centric rings. If it is smaller, the wheel will not seat.

• What lug nuts fit?

  Thread size is M12 x 1.5. Match the lug seat style to your wheel design and torque to the OEM spec from the service manual.

• Can I run 16 or 17 inch wheels?

  Possibly, but it depends on wheel width, offset, and tire size. Keep overall tire diameter close to your OEM baseline and check inner and outer clearance with the calculator, then test fit.

• Will 5x115 wheels fit a 5x114.3 hub?

  They are not the same. The difference is small but important. Do not force fit. Use the exact 5x114.3 pattern for safe centering and load distribution.

• What offset should I choose?

  The OEM wheel listed is ET 40. Use the calculator to compare your new wheel’s offset to ET 40 and confirm both strut clearance and fender poke stay within safe limits.

• What is the largest tire I can fit?

  This varies by wheel width, offset, suspension condition, and ride height. Use the calculator to model options against your baseline and physically test fit to verify clearance at full lock and full compression.

• Do I need spacers?

  Only if required for brake or strut clearance after you confirm with the calculator. If used, choose hub-centric spacers with proper extended studs or bolts and maintain full thread engagement.
