Dodge Caliber Wheel Bolt Pattern
Direct Answer for the 2007 Dodge Caliber
The 2007 Dodge Caliber uses a 5x114.3 millimeter wheel bolt pattern. This means the wheel has five lug holes arranged on a circle with a diameter of 114.3 millimeters, sometimes written as 5x4.5 inches in imperial measurements. All standard 2007 Caliber trims share this pattern, so the specification applies to the SE, SXT, and R/T front-wheel-drive models without a model-specific split.
Supporting Wheel and Hub Specifications
The center bore of the 2007 Dodge Caliber hub is approximately 67.1 millimeters. Wheels should have a center bore matching this diameter or use hub-centric rings to center the wheel properly. The factory lug thread size is M12 x 1.5, and the stock lug nut uses a 19 millimeter hex. Typical factory wheel width and offset fall in the range of 6.5 to 7.0 inches wide with an offset around +40 millimeters, but aftermarket wheels can vary as long as the bolt pattern and hub fitment are correct.
Why the Bolt Pattern Matters
The bolt pattern determines which wheels will physically mount to the vehicle. A wheel with a different bolt circle, such as 5x100 or 5x108, will not align with the Caliber's lug holes. Even if the number of lugs is the same, the circle diameter must match. Using adapters or incorrectly drilled wheels is not recommended for street use because it can create stress on the hub, studs, and suspension components.
Checking Fitment Before Buying Wheels
When shopping for replacement or aftermarket wheels, confirm four measurements: the 5x114.3 bolt pattern, a center bore of about 67.1 millimeters or larger with hub rings, an M12 x 1.5 thread compatibility for the lug hardware, and an offset close to the factory +40 millimeter specification. Wider or lower-offset wheels may fit but can change steering feel, tire clearance, and suspension wear. The information here reflects published specifications for the 2007 Caliber; individual wheel and tire packages can alter final fitment.
