Asked by jadabro Jan 23, 2008 at 08:30 AM about the 2000 Dodge Intrepid R/T FWD

Question type: Car Customization

17 inch rims and tires currently on car.
I have a good set of 16 inch winter tires (without rims) that I would like to use on the R/T (if possible)
It seems the bolt patterns of 16 inch rims are different that the 17 inch rims.
Also, 16 inch tires will not install on 17 inch rims, so I am hoping to find 16 inch rims (that
would accept my 16 inch winter tires) but need them to fit a 17 inch bolt pattern.
Are there such rims available?? Is so, where?
What is the bolt pattern specs for the 17 inch rim?
THANKS

The factory bolt pattern for this vehicle is 5x114.3 - unless the bolt pattern was altered in some way. Whether you use 16" or 17" wheels they all will have to be this same bolt pattern in order to properly seat on the hub when torqued to specification.

thanks! It took some time, but I found a set of 16inch rims with the same bolt pattern as the 17 inch rims at a local junkyard. These rims came off a 99 Intrepid that was parted out after a wreck. The hub only caused minor problems from a little bit of rust, so I just replaced it as well. Thanks again.
