2000 Honda Passport Wheel Interchange

2000 Honda Passport Wheel Fitment Guide

Known OEM Fitment For 2000 Honda Passport

The following specifications are the known reference values for the 2000 Honda Passport. Fitment can vary by trim, factory equipment, replacement wheels, and brake clearance, so confirm the vehicle and wheel details before purchasing.

The bolt pattern, center bore, thread size, offset, backspacing, wheel dimensions, and tire dimensions must all be checked. Matching only the bolt pattern does not guarantee safe fitment. Confirm the original specifications with the vehicle owner’s manual, the tire and loading information label, or a Honda service source for the specific vehicle.

How To Use The Wheel Interchange Calculator

Use the calculator to compare a donor vehicle’s wheels with the wheels installed on your 2000 Honda Passport. Enter the donor wheel diameter, width, and offset, then compare those values with the Passport reference measurements shown above.

• Set the vehicle being fitted to the 2000 Honda Passport when the calculator asks for your vehicle.
• Enter the donor vehicle or donor wheel specifications in the “Wheels from” section.
• Review the difference in wheel width, offset, inner clearance, and outer position.
• Use “Custom wheel size” when the donor wheel is aftermarket or its exact vehicle application is unknown.
• Enter custom tire section width and aspect ratio when comparing a different tire size.
• Changing rim diameter updates the tire diameter comparison. Check the resulting tire diameter, sidewall, and vehicle clearance before buying.

The calculator is a comparison tool, not a substitute for a physical test fit or professional inspection. It cannot confirm brake caliper clearance, suspension clearance through the full range of travel, hub engagement, lug-seat compatibility, or whether a tire is approved for the wheel width.

Fitment Checklist Before You Buy

• Confirm the wheel has a 6x139.7 bolt pattern.
• Confirm the center bore is 108.0 mm or larger with correctly sized hub-centric rings if needed. A smaller center bore will not fit over the hub.
• Compare wheel diameter, width, and offset with the 16x7.0 ET38 reference specification.
• Check inner clearance to brake calipers, struts, steering components, and suspension parts.
• Check outer clearance to the fender, liner, and body during steering and suspension movement.
• Verify that the wheel’s load rating meets or exceeds the vehicle requirement.
• Match the lug nut thread size, M12 x 1.5, and confirm the lug seat type matches the wheel. Thread size alone does not identify the correct lug seat.
• Confirm the wheel can use the required tire size and that the tire’s load index and speed rating are suitable.
• Inspect used wheels for cracks, bends, corrosion around the bead seat, and damaged mounting holes.
• After installation, verify torque specifications using an OEM or professional service source.

Plus Sizing And Common Upgrades

Plus sizing means using a larger wheel diameter with a lower-profile tire to keep the overall tire diameter close to the original reference size. The calculator can show how a custom rim diameter changes the tire diameter comparison, but it does not establish that a particular plus-size combination is approved for every 2000 Honda Passport.

Do not select a tire solely because its overall diameter appears similar. A wider tire can affect fender clearance, steering clearance, road noise, fuel economy, hydroplaning behavior, and speedometer accuracy. A lower-profile tire may also provide less impact protection for the wheel.

For any proposed upgrade, confirm the wheel width range recommended by the tire manufacturer, the tire load index, the wheel load rating, brake clearance, and the final offset. If the replacement wheel is wider or has a different offset than ET38, use the calculator to estimate how its inner and outer edges move, then confirm the result with a physical inspection.

Installation Tips

• Clean the hub face and wheel mounting surface before installation. Remove rust and debris without removing metal from the mounting surfaces.
• Install only compatible lug nuts with the correct M12 x 1.5 thread and matching seat style.
• Start every lug nut by hand to prevent cross-threading.
• Tighten the lugs in a star or crisscross pattern, then torque them to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification with a calibrated torque wrench.
• Do not use an impact wrench for final torque.
• Check that the wheel rotates freely and that there is no contact with the brake assembly, suspension, or body.
• Verify tire pressure using the vehicle label or owner’s manual, not the maximum pressure molded into the tire sidewall.
• Recheck lug torque after driving approximately 50 to 100 miles, following the wheel manufacturer’s and vehicle manufacturer’s instructions.
• Stop driving if you notice vibration, rubbing, steering pull, loss of pressure, or loose hardware.

Tools And Helpful Supplies

Useful supplies include a calibrated torque wrench, a socket that fits the lug nuts, a tire pressure gauge, a hub and wheel cleaning brush, and a tread depth gauge. A floor jack and jack stands must be rated for the vehicle and used on the manufacturer’s approved lift points. Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack.

• Automotive torque wrench for final lug tightening.
• Digital tire pressure gauge for checking cold tire pressure.

FAQs

What is the bolt pattern for the 2000 Honda Passport?

The known bolt pattern is 6x139.7, which is also commonly expressed as 6x5.5 inches. The wheel must match this pattern exactly.

What is the center bore for the 2000 Honda Passport?

The known center bore is 108.0 mm. A wheel with a larger bore may require correctly sized hub-centric rings. A wheel with a smaller bore will not fit over the vehicle hub.

What wheel size is listed as the reference size?

The known reference wheel is 16 inches in diameter by 7.0 inches wide, with ET38 offset and 5.0 inches of backspacing. Confirm the specific vehicle and trim before treating these values as final replacement instructions.

What tire size is listed for this fitment?

The known reference tire size is 225/75R16. Tire approval, load requirements, and available clearance should be confirmed before selecting a replacement or plus-size tire.

What lug nuts does the 2000 Honda Passport use?

The known thread size is M12 x 1.5. The correct lug nut also needs the wheel’s matching seat style and sufficient thread engagement. Confirm the seat type from the wheel manufacturer or the original wheel hardware.

Can I use any 6x139.7 wheel?

No. A matching bolt pattern is only one part of fitment. The center bore, wheel width, offset, backspacing, load rating, lug seat, brake clearance, and tire compatibility must also be checked.

How do I know whether a larger wheel will fit?

Enter the proposed wheel and tire dimensions in the custom fields of the calculator. Review changes in tire diameter and wheel position, then verify physical clearance and manufacturer requirements. The calculator cannot guarantee brake or suspension clearance.

Where can I confirm the final specifications?

Check the vehicle owner’s manual, the tire and loading information label, wheel markings, tire manufacturer data, and Honda service information for the specific vehicle. When measurements conflict, stop and verify them before purchasing or installing parts.
