For a softer ride or winter setup, a 205/74R14 (minus-one) keeps the overall diameter within Âą3% of stock, which is the industry tolerance for ABS and stability control to stay calibrated.
Wheel fitment specs
The 2003 Dodge Caravan uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern with a 71.5mm hub bore. Safe rim width range for the OEM tire is 6.0J â 7.0J, and offsets in the ET35 â ET45 window will clear suspension and fender without rubbing on most setups.
Tire pressure guidance
Manufacturer-recommended cold tire pressure for the 2003 Dodge Caravan is printed on the driver-side door jamb sticker â always defer to that value, not to the maximum pressure printed on the tire sidewall. Check pressure monthly and before long trips; under-inflation by 20% can reduce tread life by 25%.
