Wheel fitment specs
The 1996 Dodge Viper uses a 6x114.3 bolt pattern with a 71.5mm hub bore. Safe rim width range for the OEM tire is 9.5J â 10.5J, and offsets in the ET45 â ET55 window will clear suspension and fender without rubbing on most setups.
Staggered setup notes

Tire pressure guidance
Manufacturer-recommended cold tire pressure for the 1996 Dodge Viper 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%.
