2020 Honda Passport Wheel Interchange and Fitment Guide
This guide covers the known wheel and tire fitment information for the 2020 Honda Passport. Use the on-page calculator to compare wheels from a donor vehicle with wheels installed on your vehicle, then confirm brake clearance, load rating, tire requirements, and OEM specifications before purchase or installation.
Known OEM Fitment For 2020 Honda Passport
The following specifications are the known fitment values supplied for the 2020 Honda Passport. Equipment can vary by trim, package, market, or replacement-wheel configuration, so verify your vehicle using the door-jamb label, owner’s manual, Honda service information, or the original wheel markings.
| Specification |
Known value |
| Bolt pattern |
5x120, meaning 5 studs on a 120 mm pitch circle diameter |
| Center bore |
64.1 mm |
| Thread size |
M14 x 1.5 |
| Rim diameter |
20 inches |
| Rim width |
8.0 inches |
| Wheel offset |
ET55, or 55 mm positive offset |
| Backspacing |
6.17 inches |
| Tire size information |
245 section width, 50 aspect ratio, 20 inch rim diameter, commonly written as 245/50R20 when these values apply together |
These values do not by themselves prove that another wheel is safe or compatible. A replacement wheel must also clear the brake components, provide suitable load capacity, use the correct lug hardware, and maintain safe tire clearance through the steering and suspension travel.
How To Use The Wheel Interchange Calculator
The calculator lets you compare “Wheels from” a donor vehicle with wheels “Installed on” your 2020 Honda Passport. Enter the donor wheel diameter, width, offset, bolt pattern, and center bore when available. Enter the donor tire section width, aspect ratio, and rim diameter as well.
- Use the installed-vehicle fields for the known Passport specifications listed above.
- Use the donor-vehicle fields for the wheel and tire you are considering.
- Review changes in inner clearance, outer position, and tire diameter rather than relying only on bolt pattern.
- Try the custom wheel size controls to test a different rim diameter, rim width, or offset.
- Try the custom tire size controls to compare section width and aspect ratio.
- When you change rim diameter, review the updated tire diameter comparison because the tire size must change to keep overall diameter close to the vehicle requirement.
Calculator results are a comparison aid, not a substitute for a physical test fit or manufacturer confirmation. A result that appears close should still be checked for caliper clearance, suspension clearance, fender clearance, hub fit, lug engagement, and tire load and speed ratings.
Fitment Checklist Before You Buy
Confirm every item below before ordering wheels or tires for the 2020 Honda Passport:
- Confirm the 5x120 bolt pattern and verify that the wheel is designed for the correct stud and lug-nut system.
- Check that the wheel center bore is at least 64.1 mm. A larger bore may require correctly sized hub-centric rings. A smaller bore generally will not fit over the hub.
- Compare the proposed offset with ET55 and check both inner suspension clearance and outer fender position.
- Confirm that the wheel’s rated load capacity meets or exceeds the vehicle and axle requirements.
- Check brake caliper and rotor clearance. Diameter and width alone do not establish brake clearance.
- Verify lug-nut seat type, thread engagement, torque requirements, and whether the wheel manufacturer requires special hardware.
- Confirm the replacement tire’s load index, speed rating, overall diameter, section width, and approved rim-width range.
- Check TPMS compatibility and plan for sensor transfer, replacement, or relearning as required.
- Inspect the wheel for cracks, bends, corrosion, repaired damage, and clear identification of size, offset, and load rating.
- After installation, check clearance at full steering lock and through suspension compression before driving normally.
Plus Sizing And Common Upgrades
Plus sizing changes the wheel diameter while using a lower-profile tire to keep the overall tire diameter near the original specification. The calculator can help compare these changes, but it does not approve a particular tire size or wheel for road use.
A larger wheel may improve appearance and steering response, but it can reduce sidewall cushioning, increase susceptibility to impact damage, raise replacement cost, and make clearance problems more likely. A wider tire can also change steering feel and may contact the suspension or fender during turning or compression.
For any upgrade, preserve adequate load capacity and confirm the tire manufacturer’s approved rim-width range. Do not select a tire solely because its calculated diameter is similar. The tire must also fit the wheel correctly and meet the vehicle’s required load and speed ratings.
If you are considering a non-OEM diameter or width, confirm the final specification with Honda service information, the tire manufacturer, and the wheel manufacturer. Trim-specific information is not provided here and should not be assumed.
Installation Tips
Clean the hub face and wheel mounting surface before installation. Rust, dirt, paint buildup, or debris between the wheel and hub can create runout and prevent the wheel from seating correctly.
Install the correct lug nuts by hand to avoid cross-threading. Tighten them in a star or crisscross pattern, then use a calibrated torque wrench set to the torque specified by Honda or the wheel manufacturer. Do not use an impact tool as the final torque method.
After lowering the vehicle, recheck torque with the vehicle stationary on the ground. Recheck lug torque after the interval specified by the wheel manufacturer or installer, especially after the first drive. Confirm that the wheel rotates freely and that no brake, suspension, or body component contacts the wheel or tire.
Keep the vehicle’s tire-pressure placard as the reference for required cold inflation pressure unless a qualified tire professional or vehicle manufacturer provides different instructions for the approved replacement setup.
Tools And Helpful Supplies
Useful items for a careful wheel installation include a calibrated torque wrench, suitable socket, jack and jack stands rated for the vehicle, wheel chocks, a tire-pressure gauge, and a hub and wheel contact-surface brush.

Use jack stands on approved support points and follow the vehicle service instructions. Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Hub-centric rings, if needed, should be selected by measuring the wheel bore and matching the vehicle hub, not by appearance or guesswork.
FAQs
What is the bolt pattern for the 2020 Honda Passport?
The known bolt pattern is 5x120. Confirm the wheel manufacturer’s specifications before purchase, because matching the bolt pattern alone does not confirm complete fitment.
What is the center bore for the 2020 Honda Passport?
The known center bore is 64.1 mm. A wheel with a larger bore may need an accurately sized hub-centric ring. A wheel with a smaller bore generally cannot seat over the vehicle hub.
What wheel size is listed for this 2020 Honda Passport fitment?
The supplied fitment data lists a 20 inch diameter, 8.0 inch width, ET55 offset, and 6.17 inch backspacing. Trim and market variations are not provided, so confirm the original wheel markings and vehicle documentation before treating these values as your exact configuration.
What tire size is associated with the supplied wheel data?
The supplied tire measurements are 245 mm section width, 50 percent aspect ratio, and a 20 inch rim diameter. These dimensions can be written as 245/50R20 when they are intended as one complete tire designation, but verify the tire placard and OEM or tire-maker information for your specific vehicle.
Can I use wheels from another vehicle with the same 5x120 bolt pattern?
Not automatically. You must also compare center bore, offset, width, backspacing, brake clearance, wheel load rating, lug hardware, and tire dimensions. Use the calculator for the dimensional comparison, then confirm the result with a physical inspection and reliable OEM or wheel-manufacturer data.
Will a larger center bore cause a problem?
A larger wheel center bore may fit over the hub but can require hub-centric rings to center the wheel correctly. The ring must match the vehicle hub and wheel bore precisely and must be compatible with the wheel design and operating conditions.
Does changing wheel diameter change tire diameter?
Yes. A different rim diameter normally requires a different tire sidewall height to keep the overall tire diameter near the intended specification. In the calculator, changing rim diameter updates the tire diameter comparison so you can review the effect.
Is the calculator enough to approve a wheel purchase?
No. The calculator is a comparison tool. Before purchase, verify brake and suspension clearance, fender clearance, load ratings, lug compatibility, TPMS requirements, and tire specifications. When any measurement or trim detail is uncertain, confirm it through Honda documentation or the wheel and tire manufacturers.
