See matching hub rings

Hub-centric rings of about 67.1 → 57.1 mm mm may be relevant if the wheel bore is larger than the hub; they cannot enlarge a smaller bore. Approximate position vs the mid OEM package: outer change 5.18 mm, inner change 1.17 mm. This uses aggregated width/offset ranges, not a specific wheel.

2002 Dodge Neon Wheel Fitment and Interchange Guide

Known OEM Fitment For 2002 Dodge Neon

The values below reflect known factory specifications for the 2002 Dodge Neon. Some details can vary by trim and package. Always confirm against your owner’s manual, the wheel casting marks, and the tire placard on the driver door jamb. Use the calculator on this page to validate any change before you buy.

Bolt pattern 5x100
Center bore 57.1 mm
Thread size M12 x 1.5
OEM rim diameter 14 in
OEM rim width 5.5 in
OEM wheel offset ET 40 mm
OEM backspacing 4.32 in
OEM tire size 185/65R14

If a value is missing from your wheel or tire, verify with OEM documentation or your dealer using your VIN.

How To Use The Wheel Interchange Calculator

  • Pick Wheels from to set your donor vehicle. Pick Installed on to set your 2002 Dodge Neon.
  • To simulate aftermarket wheels, use Custom wheel size to enter a rim diameter, rim width, and offset you want to try.
  • Use Custom tire size to enter a tire section width and aspect ratio. The calculator updates tire diameter when rim diameter changes, so you can keep overall diameter close to stock.
  • Review the comparison readouts. Look for inner clearance to the strut and spring perch, outer poke past the fender, brake caliper spoke clearance, and tire diameter difference that affects ride height and speedometer.
  • As a general practice keep overall tire diameter close to stock and avoid large offset changes. The calculator shows exact differences so you can decide safely.

Fitment Checklist Before You Buy

  • Bolt pattern must be 5x100. Do not attempt to fit 5x114.3 or other patterns.
  • Center bore is 57.1 mm. If the new wheel bore is larger, use hub centric rings sized to 57.1 mm. If it is smaller, the wheel will not seat correctly.
  • Thread size is M12 x 1.5. Match lug nuts to the wheel seat type. Do not assume the seat style. Verify if your wheel uses conical, ball, or mag seats.
  • Offset reference is ET 40 mm on the OEM 14x5.5. Changing width or offset alters inner and outer clearance. Use the calculator to confirm there is no strut, spring, brake hose, or fender contact at full lock and full compression.
  • Backspacing reference is 4.32 in. If you change width or offset, ensure the new backspacing still clears the suspension.
  • Brake clearance is critical. Spoke shape can interfere with calipers even if diameter fits. Test fit a front wheel before mounting tires whenever possible.
  • Tire load index and speed rating must meet or exceed the ratings on your door sticker.
  • Spacers or adapters add variables. If you must use them, choose hub centric parts that maintain a 57.1 mm hub, and ensure adequate stud engagement. Verify local regulations.
  • Aftermarket TPMS handling varies by wheel and sensor type. If your vehicle is equipped, plan for compatible sensors or service kits. If not equipped, you can ignore TPMS steps.

Plus Sizing And Common Upgrades

Owners often consider moving to a larger rim with a lower profile tire to maintain a similar overall diameter. Actual fitment can vary by Neon trim, suspension condition, and brake package. Use the calculator to:

  • Try a larger rim diameter and adjust the tire aspect ratio so overall diameter stays close to stock.
  • Check inner and outer clearance when changing wheel width. A wider wheel may need a different offset to avoid rubbing.
  • Evaluate speedometer change. Keep tire diameter differences minimal for accurate readings.
  • Plan seasonal setups. A slightly narrower tire can aid winter traction, but must meet load rating and clear brakes.

Do not buy larger wheels or tires until you verify clearance in the calculator and with a physical test fit if possible.

Installation Tips

  • Test fit each new wheel on the front hub first. Spin by hand to check for caliper or knuckle contact.
  • Clean the hub face and the wheel mounting pad. Remove rust and debris to reduce runout and vibration.
  • If the wheel bore is larger than 57.1 mm, install correct hub centric rings before mounting the wheel.
  • Hand start all lug nuts to avoid cross threading. Tighten in a star pattern.
  • Torque lug nuts to the factory specification for your trim using a calibrated torque wrench. If unknown, check the owner’s manual or dealer.
  • Re torque after 50 to 100 miles of driving.
  • Avoid lubricant on stud threads unless the manufacturer explicitly allows it. Keep the hub face dry and free of grease.

Tools And Helpful Supplies

FAQs

  • What is the bolt pattern for the 2002 Dodge Neon?

    5x100.

  • What center bore do I need?

    57.1 mm. Use hub centric rings if your aftermarket wheel bore is larger. If the bore is smaller, the wheel will not fit.

  • What is the stock tire size?

    185/65R14.

  • What is the OEM wheel size and offset?

    14x5.5 with ET 40 mm and about 4.32 in backspacing.

  • Can I run a different bolt pattern with wobble bolts or adapters?

    Do not use wobble bolts. If adapters are considered, they must be high quality, hub centric, and they change offset. Verify all clearances in the calculator and follow local laws.

  • What offset range will work on my Neon?

    It depends on wheel width and tire size. Use the calculator to see inner and outer clearance changes compared to the OEM 14x5.5 ET 40 mm setup, then test fit.

  • Do I need new lug nuts?

    If your new wheels use a different seat type or require different shank length, yes. Keep the thread size M12 x 1.5 and match the wheel seat design.

  • Will larger wheels like 15 or 16 inch fit?

    Fitment can vary by trim and brake package. Use the calculator to keep overall tire diameter near stock and confirm clearance. Test fit before mounting tires when possible.

Use the on page calculator on wheelinterchange.com to verify every change before you buy. When in doubt, measure your car and consult OEM sources.

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
  • Lug thread / hardware differences (vehicle-side hardware)

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.
