Important note: The tire size listed above uses a 14 inch rim, while the wheel spec shows a 15 inch rim. This indicates trim or package variation, or incomplete data. You cannot mount a 14 inch tire on a 15 inch wheel. Confirm your exact OEM wheel and tire size from the driver door placard and use the calculator to compare any alternatives before you buy.
How To Use The Wheel Interchange Calculator
The calculator lets you compare a donor wheel and tire against your 1999 Dodge Caravan and model custom changes. Follow these steps:
Set Installed on to 1999 Dodge Caravan. This locks in the known specs for your van.
Pick Wheels from to match a potential donor vehicle or enter a Custom wheel size by typing rim diameter, rim width, and offset.
Adjust Custom tire size by entering section width and aspect ratio. When you change rim diameter, the calculator updates tire diameter in the comparison so you can keep overall diameter consistent.
Review clearance results. Pay attention to inboard clearance to struts and brakes, outboard poke relative to fender, and overall tire diameter difference. Aim to keep overall diameter within about 3 percent of your verified OEM size.
Iterate until the comparison shows acceptable clearance and diameter difference. Then verify physically on the vehicle before purchasing.
Fitment Checklist Before You Buy
Bolt pattern must be 5x114.3.
Center bore must seat on a 57.1 mm hub. Larger-bore wheels can be used with 57.1 mm hub-centric rings. Smaller-bore wheels will not fit.
Thread size is M12 x 1.5. Lug nuts or bolts must match both the stud thread and the wheel seat type. Verify the seat style on the wheel you plan to use.
Offset: OEM reference is ET 40 mm. If you change wheel width or offset, use the calculator to confirm both inboard clearance and outer poke remain safe.
Wheel width: Increasing width changes inner and outer clearance. Confirm suspension and brake clearance at full lock and over bumps.
Tire diameter: Keep overall tire diameter close to your verified OEM size to maintain speedometer accuracy and avoid rubbing.
Brake clearance: Test fit to ensure spokes and barrels clear calipers and balance weights.
Load rating: Wheels and tires must meet or exceed the vehicle load rating on the placard.
Spare compatibility: If changing sizes, ensure your spare solution is safe and legal.
Verify with OEM sources: Cross-check sizes with the driver door placard, owner manual, and wheel markings stamped or cast on the back of the wheel.
Plus Sizing And Common Upgrades
Plus sizing increases wheel diameter while selecting a lower profile tire to keep overall diameter similar. For example, moving from a verified 15 inch setup to a 16 inch setup typically calls for a tire with a lower aspect ratio so the rolling diameter stays close. Use the calculator to:
Hold overall tire diameter within about 3 percent of your verified OEM size.
Keep offset near the OEM ET 40 mm reference unless width changes require adjustment for clearance.
Check both inboard strut clearance and outer fender poke as you change rim width and offset.
Because our tire and wheel data above shows a 14 inch tire and a 15 inch wheel, confirm your van’s factory size on the door placard first, then use the calculator to model any plus-size option before purchase.
Installation Tips
Test fit each wheel on the hub and verify it seats fully on the 57.1 mm hub lip without interference.
If using larger center-bore wheels, install correct 57.1 mm ID hub-centric rings before final fitting.
Hand start all M12 x 1.5 lug nuts to avoid cross-threading. Tighten in a star pattern.
Spin the wheel by hand to confirm caliper and suspension clearance before lowering the vehicle.
After a short road test, recheck for rubbing at full steering lock and over bumps.
Re-torque lug nuts after 50 to 100 miles. Follow the torque value in the owner manual or service information.
What is the bolt pattern for the 1999 Dodge Caravan?
5x114.3. Always verify on your vehicle before purchasing donor wheels.
Will wheels from another 5x114.3 vehicle fit my Caravan?
Possibly. The donor wheels must have a center bore equal to or larger than 57.1 mm, compatible offset and width for clearance, correct M12 x 1.5 hardware and seat type, and adequate load rating. Use the calculator and perform a physical test fit.
My specs show a 15 inch rim but a 14 inch tire. Is that OK?
No. Tire and wheel diameters must match. The mismatch here indicates trim variation or incomplete data. Check your door-jamb placard and the markings on your current wheels and tires, then use the calculator to compare alternatives.
What offset should I use if I change wheel width?
Start from the known ET 40 mm reference and use the calculator to balance inboard and outboard clearance when changing width. Final suitability depends on brake and fender clearance which you must confirm on the vehicle.
Do I need hub-centric rings?
Only if the donor wheel’s center bore is larger than 57.1 mm. Use rings with a 57.1 mm inner diameter and the correct outer diameter for the wheel. If the donor bore is smaller than 57.1 mm, the wheel will not fit.
What lug nuts should I buy?
The thread is M12 x 1.5. The seat type must match the wheel design. Check your current wheels or the wheel manufacturer’s documentation for the correct seat style.
Can I use spacers to clear brakes or struts?
Spacers can solve clearance issues, but they add variables. If used, select hub-centric spacers that maintain a 57.1 mm hub interface, ensure sufficient thread engagement or use longer studs, and verify fender clearance and legal track width.
How do I confirm my original size if I am unsure?
Check the driver door-jamb tire and loading placard, the owner manual, and the size markings cast or stamped on your wheels and tires. Then model that size in the calculator as your baseline.
Methodology and sources
Wheel interchange depends on more than bolt pattern. Where data is available, this site compares recorded OEM values:
Bolt pattern / PCD
Center bore direction (donor wheel bore must not be smaller than the hub)
Wheel diameter, width, and offset against known OEM ranges
A normal wheel spacer does not change bolt pattern. Hub rings cannot enlarge a wheel bore that is smaller than the hub. Brake clearance and tire package fitment still require vehicle-specific checks when not confirmed in the dataset.
