1981 Dodge Aries Base Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1981 Dodge Aries Base comes factory with 4x100 bolt pattern and 13x5 wheels at 45mm offset. You can upgrade to 14-inch or 15-inch diameters in widths ranging from 5 to 7 inches, maintaining the same bolt pattern across all compatible sizes. The Aries uses square fitment, so matching front and rear sizes works perfectly on this platform.
Any wheel you choose must have a 4x100 bolt pattern to fit your Aries—no exceptions. The hub-centric bore is 57.1mm, so if your wheel's center bore exceeds that, use hub-centric rings to ensure proper centering. Be cautious with very wide or aggressively offset wheels, as they risk rubbing the fender or suspension components; moderate fitments within our listed sizes keep clearance safe.
All wheels listed here are pre-verified to bolt directly onto your Aries and ship free throughout the lower 48 states. Stock options from Vors, Heritage Wheel, Work Wheels, Motegi Racing, MST Wheels, Petrol, Enkei, and Shift are in inventory and ready to order.
