OEM wheel and tire fitment specs for the 2010 Dodge Nitro, including bolt pattern (PCD), center bore diameter, thread size, rim diameter, rim width, wheel offset, and backspacing.
Recorded OEM specifications for the 2010 Dodge Nitro, donor years with overlapping ranges, and a calculator to compare a selected wheel. Range overlap is not a guaranteed fit.
Multiple OEM configurations exist for this vehicle. Fitment can vary by trim, brakes, and factory wheel package – confirm your exact setup before buying.
Center-bore records disagree: year-level hub 72.6 mm vs trim range 71.6–71.6 mm. Interchange below does not treat this as an unqualified match.

Notes:
Some trims or special packages may use different wheel or tire sizes. Always confirm against your VIN data, door label, and OEM publications.
If using aftermarket wheels with a larger center bore than 71.6 mm, hub-centric rings are recommended to center the wheel on the hub.
How To Use The Wheel Interchange Calculator
The calculator on wheelinterchange.com lets you compare donor wheels and tires to your 2010 Dodge Nitro. Use it to visualize offset, inner clearance, poke, and tire diameter changes before you buy.
Select Wheels from to choose a donor vehicle or enter a Custom wheel size. Enter rim diameter, width, and offset for the donor wheel.
Select Installed on to set your vehicle as the 2010 Dodge Nitro. The OEM specs above can be used as your baseline.
Optional Custom tire size lets you try different tire section width and aspect ratio. When you change rim diameter, the calculator updates tire diameter so you can keep overall height close to stock.
Review the comparison outputs. Pay close attention to inner clearance to the strut and brakes, outer poke to the fender, and total tire diameter difference relative to stock.
If a donor wheel matches 5x114.3 and can be centered to 71.6 mm, use the calculator to verify that offset and width changes still clear your brakes, suspension, and fenders.
Fitment Checklist Before You Buy
Studs and PCD: Wheel must be 5x114.3 and designed for M12 x 1.5 lug hardware.
Centering: Hub bore must be 71.6 mm or larger. If larger, add hub-centric rings that step down to 71.6 mm.
Caliper and spoke clearance: Use the calculator to compare inner barrel and spoke clearance. When in doubt, test fit a front wheel to confirm brake clearance.
Offset and width: Compare to OEM ET 43 mm and 6.5 in width. Large changes affect scrub radius, bearing load, and body clearance. Use the calculator to quantify inner clearance and poke.
Tire diameter: Keep overall diameter close to stock to protect ABS, gearing, and speedometer accuracy. Many technicians aim to stay within a small percentage of OEM. Verify with the calculator.
Load rating: Wheels and tires must meet or exceed the Nitro’s axle and GVWR load ratings. Check sidewall and wheel specs.
TPMS: If equipped, plan to transfer or program sensors compatible with your Nitro and region. Verify frequency and compatibility with your parts supplier.
Stud engagement: Ensure full nut engagement on M12 x 1.5 studs. If using spacers or thicker wheel pads, you may need extended studs. Follow local regulations.
Plus Sizing And Common Upgrades
The OEM 225/75R16 tire is roughly 29.3 in tall. Many owners explore plus sizing for appearance or tire availability. Common directions include:
Plus-one or plus-two diameters with lower aspect tires to keep near-stock overall diameter. Use the calculator to balance width, offset, and clearance.
All-terrain tire options in similar diameters for light off-road use. Check section width versus wheel well and inner clearance before purchase.
Wider wheels may require offset adjustments. Even small offset changes can affect fender poke and inner clearance. Always compare against OEM ET 43 mm using the calculator.
Important: Do not assume a size will fit because it worked on another vehicle with 5x114.3. Always confirm center bore, offset, brake clearance, and tire diameter with the calculator and a physical test fit when possible.
Installation Tips
Prepare the hub: Clean rust from the hub face and center pilot with a wire brush. The wheel must sit flush.
Hub-centric rings: If your wheel bore is larger than 71.6 mm, install rings before mounting the wheel.
Lug hardware: Use the correct seat type for your wheels and the correct thread size M12 x 1.5. Do not lubricate lug seats. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s lug torque procedure and specification from the owner manual or service information.
Tightening: Snug lugs in a star pattern. Lower the vehicle and torque in stages in a star pattern.
Re-torque: Recheck torque after 25 to 50 miles of driving.
TPMS: Transfer sensors carefully or install compatible sensors. Perform relearn or programming as required for your market.
Clearance check: Turn lock to lock and compress suspension to check brake line, strut, and fender clearance. Verify that center caps clear the front hub.
Tools And Helpful Supplies
Trolley jack and jack stands rated for your vehicle
71.6 mm. Aftermarket wheels with a larger bore should use hub-centric rings to step down to 71.6 mm.
What is the factory wheel offset?
ET 43 mm on the listed OEM 16x6.5 in wheel. If your trim differs, verify against the door label or OEM documentation, then compare in the calculator.
What is the stock tire size and diameter?
225/75R16 with an approximate overall diameter of 29.3 in. Always confirm your door label and use the calculator to compare alternatives.
Will wheels from another 5x114.3 vehicle fit my Nitro?
Possibly, but only if center bore, offset, brake clearance, and load rating are suitable. Use the calculator to compare width and offset, and test fit to verify brake and fender clearance.
Do I need new lug nuts?
You need M12 x 1.5 thread. Seat type must match the wheel design, which often differs between OEM and aftermarket wheels. Do not mix seat types.
What torque should I use on the lug nuts?
Refer to the owner manual or OEM service information for the exact torque for your trim and market. Torque values can vary. Always tighten in a star pattern and re-torque after initial driving.
Can I run staggered wheel or tire sizes?
If your Nitro is equipped with 4WD or traction systems sensitive to tire diameter, staggered diameters can cause issues. Keep overall diameters matched side to side on each axle, and consult the owner manual before using staggered setups.
Are spacers safe to use?
Spacers change offset and stud engagement. If you choose to use them, select hub-centric spacers with proper hardware, ensure adequate stud engagement, and confirm clearance with the calculator and a test fit. Follow local laws and OEM guidance.
How do I confirm my exact OEM specs?
Check the driver door jamb tire and loading label, the owner manual, and OEM service information. Then enter those values as your baseline in the on-page calculator to compare any new wheel and tire combination.
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.
