* Bolt Pattern: While you mention 5-lug, you need the *precise* bolt pattern (e.g., 5x4.5" or 5x114.3mm). 1992 Dodge 250 vans commonly used 5x5" (or 5x127mm). This is crucial. A slight difference will prevent the wheel from mounting correctly.
* Wheel Backspacing/Offset: This dictates how far the wheel sits in or out from the hub. Incorrect backspacing can cause rubbing on suspension components, brakes, or the body. This varies significantly between models and even years within a model.
* Center Bore Diameter: The hole in the center of the wheel that fits over the hub. Too small, and it won't fit. Too large, and it'll need centering rings (which are sometimes problematic).
* Hub Diameter: The actual size of the hub on your 1992 250 van.
To find compatible wheels:
1. Identify your exact bolt pattern: Check your existing wheel or your vehicle's documentation.
2. Measure your wheel's backspacing/offset: This requires removing a wheel and carefully measuring from the mounting surface to the back of the wheel.
3. Determine your center bore diameter: Measure the center hole of your existing wheel.
4. Use a wheel compatibility chart or website: Several online resources specialize in wheel fitment. Input your vehicle's year, make, model, and the specifications you gathered (bolt pattern, backspacing/offset, center bore). These sites will show you other Dodge models (and potentially other makes) that share compatible wheels. Examples include Tire Rack, Discount Tire, and similar online retailers.
Without the precise measurements above, I cannot definitively list compatible Dodge models. Attempting to guess based on limited information could lead to purchasing incompatible wheels. The consequences can range from the wheel not mounting to potential damage to your vehicle.
