2013 Dodge Avenger Wheel Interchange

2013 Dodge Avenger Wheel Fitment Guide

Known OEM Fitment For 2013 Dodge Avenger

The values below reflect the OEM baseline for the listed trim where available. If your trim or option package differs, confirm against your owner’s manual, the driver-door placard, or your dealer before buying wheels or tires.

If any of your OEM values differ, use your exact specs in the calculator and follow the checklist below.

How To Use The Wheel Interchange Calculator

The WheelInterchange.com calculator compares “Wheels from” a donor vehicle against what’s “Installed on” your 2013 Dodge Avenger. It also lets you try custom wheel and tire sizes. Follow these steps:

• Set “Installed on” to 2013 Dodge Avenger.
• If you are evaluating OEM wheels from another vehicle, choose that vehicle under “Wheels from.” If you are evaluating aftermarket sizes, use the “Custom wheel size” and “Custom tire size” fields.
• Enter your baseline: rim 16x7, offset +40 mm, tire 215/65R16. These are the known OEM values above.
• Adjust the “Custom wheel size”:
  • Rim width changes affect inner clearance to the strut and outer “poke.”
  • Offset changes move the wheel inboard or outboard. Higher ET tucks the wheel in; lower ET pushes it out.
• Adjust the “Custom tire size”:
  • Changing rim diameter updates compatible tire diameters in the comparison.
  • Aim to keep overall tire diameter within about ±3 percent of stock to maintain speedometer and ABS behavior.
• Review the comparison readouts for:
  • Inner clearance change vs. suspension and brake components.
  • Outer poke vs. fender/bumper lips.
  • Ride height and speedometer error from tire diameter change.
• If any dimension looks marginal, test a slightly higher offset to pull inboard or a slightly narrower tire to reduce poke. Always re-check both inner and outer clearances.
• Before buying, confirm bolt pattern 5x114.3, center bore 67.1 mm, and thread size M12x1.5 with the seller’s data and your OEM sources.

Fitment Checklist Before You Buy

• Bolt pattern: Must be 5x114.3. Do not use 5x115 or 5x112.
• Center bore: Wheel bore must be 67.1 mm or larger. If larger, plan hub-centric rings sized to 67.1 mm.
• Offset and backspacing: Start near OEM ET +40 mm and use the calculator to verify inner clearance to struts and brake hoses and outer fender clearance.
• Brake and suspension clearance: Check spoke-to-caliper and barrel-to-caliper clearance, especially with smaller barrel diameters or different spoke shapes.
• Tire diameter: Keep within about ±3 percent of ~27.0 in OEM diameter unless you plan to recalibrate. Verify speedometer impact in the calculator.
• Tire width: Ensure sufficient inboard clearance at full lock and over bumps. Wider tires may require higher offset or narrower width to avoid rubbing.
• Load rating: Wheel and tire load index must meet or exceed the vehicle’s GAWR/GVWR on the door placard.
• Lug hardware: Thread size is M12x1.5. Verify lug nut seat type required by the new wheels and do not mix seat styles.
• Stud engagement: Target at least 7 full turns of engagement on M12x1.5. If using spacers, ensure proper stud length or extended studs.
• TPMS: Sensor type and frequency may vary. Reuse your sensors if compatible or buy OEM-compatible replacements.
• OEM torque and pressures: Torque spec and tire pressures can vary by trim and wheel option. Use the owner’s manual or driver-door placard.

Plus Sizing And Common Upgrades

The examples below keep overall diameter near the OEM ~27.0 in target. These are not guaranteed fitments. Use the calculator, then measure clearances on your car before purchase.

• 17 inch examples to evaluate in the calculator:
  • 225/55R17, approximate diameter ~26.7 in, about -1.0 percent from stock.
  • 215/60R17, approximate diameter ~27.2 in, about +0.6 percent from stock.
• 18 inch examples to evaluate:
  • 235/50R18, approximate diameter ~27.3 in, about +0.9 percent from stock.
• Wheel width guidance:
  • Many 17 inch options are 7.0 to 7.5 in wide. Many 18 inch options are 7.5 to 8.0 in wide. Start near OEM offset +40 mm and verify with the calculator.

If you choose wheels with a larger center bore than 67.1 mm, plan for hub-centric rings. Avoid mixing 5x115 wheels on a 5x114.3 hub.

Installation Tips

• Test fit every wheel without a tire first. Spin by hand to check caliper and suspension clearance.
• Clean the hub face and center pilot with a wire brush. A very light film of high-temp anti-seize on the hub pilot can help prevent sticking if permitted by your OEM guidance.
• Do not lubricate wheel studs or lug seats unless specified by the manufacturer. Install lugs finger-tight first.
• Lower the car until the tire just touches the ground, then torque lugs in a star pattern to the OEM spec from your owner’s manual.
• Re-torque after 50 to 100 miles and after any significant temperature swings.
• If using spacers, use hub-centric spacers that match 67.1 mm and ensure full thread engagement or install extended studs. Re-check torque frequently.

Tools And Helpful Supplies

• 1/2 inch drive torque wrench for accurate lug tightening
• Thin wall lug nut socket set to protect wheel finishes
• Jack stands for safe support while working
• Hub-centric rings 67.1 mm if your aftermarket wheel bore is larger

FAQs

• What is the bolt pattern on the 2013 Dodge Avenger?

  5x114.3. Only use wheels drilled for 5x114.3.

• What is the center bore size?

  67.1 mm. If your wheel’s bore is larger, use rings to step down to 67.1 mm.

• What are the stock wheel and tire sizes?

  Wheel 16x7, offset +40 mm, backspacing 5.07 in, tire 215/65R16 based on the known OEM baseline here. Some trims or packages may differ, so confirm with your door placard or manual.

• Can I install 5x115 wheels on a 5x114.3 hub?

  Not recommended. The mismatch can cause stress on studs, vibration, and safety issues. Use only 5x114.3.

• What tire sizes work with 17 or 18 inch wheels?

  Examples to evaluate include 225/55R17 or 215/60R17, and 235/50R18. Always verify diameter change, inner and outer clearances, and load index in the calculator before buying.

• What lug nuts do I need?

  The thread is M12x1.5. Seat type depends on the wheel design and is not provided here. Confirm with the wheel manufacturer and do not mix seat styles.

• What is the correct lug nut torque?

  Torque can vary by trim and wheel option and is not listed here. Use the value in your owner’s manual or service manual, and re-torque after 50 to 100 miles.

• Do I need hub-centric rings?

  If the aftermarket wheel bore is larger than 67.1 mm, use rings to center the wheel and reduce vibration. If the wheel bore is smaller than 67.1 mm, it will not fit.

• Will a different offset affect handling?

  Yes. Lower offset pushes the wheel outward, which can reduce inner clearance and change scrub radius. Higher offset tucks inward, which can hit struts or control arms. Start near the OEM +40 mm and verify with the calculator.
