Mitsubishi RVR and Chariot Wheel Fitment Guide: Four Holes or Five, Same Chassis Code

RVR and Chariot — where the hole count splits, and where it does not.

The Short Version

  • 4×114.3 on the base cars, 5×114.3 on the upper grades and most 4WDs. Same generation, sometimes the same chassis code.
  • 67 mm bore throughout — that part never changes.
  • The Chariot is entirely four-hole. The split is an RVR problem.
  • +46 offset on essentially everything, from 1991 to the modern car.

Where the Split Is

The first-generation RVR is the messiest vehicle in this batch. Here is the whole picture, read from the factory database:

Chassis Drive Grades Wheel PCD / Holes / Bore Rows
E-N11W 2WD 1.8 X and equivalents 5.5J×14 +46 114.3 / 4 / 67 14
E-N13W 2WD 2.0 Open Gear, X, Version S 5.5J×14 +46 114.3 / 4 / 67 22
E-N13W 2WD 2.0 X2 6J×15 +46 114.3 / 5 / 67 1
E-N23W 4WD 2.0 R 5.5J×14 +46 114.3 / 4 / 67 4
E-N23W 4WD 2.0 Open Gear and others 6J×15 +46 114.3 / 5 / 67 36
E-N23WG 4WD 2.0 turbo Hyper Sports Gear Z / R 6J×15 +46 114.3 / 5 / 67 37
Read from the Japanese factory wheel database.

Two chassis codes carry both hole counts. On E-N23W the split is substantial — four rows for the base R grade against thirty-six for everything else — which reads like a genuine hardware difference between the stripped-out grade and the rest.

On E-N13W the five-hole side is a single row, the X2. That could be real, or it could be one mis-keyed cell. We are less confident about it and say so.

What is consistent: the 14-inch cars are four-hole and the 15-inch cars are five-hole. If you only remember one thing, remember that — the wheel that came on the car tells you more than the chassis plate does.

The Chariot Is Simpler

The Chariot, on the same platform family, has no split we could find. Every grade — the base MX Fiero through the Resort Runner MX, GT and GT-V — is 4×114.3 with a 67 mm bore at +46. The Resort Runner grades get a bigger rim (6J×14 or 6J×15 against the base 5.5J×14) and nothing else changes.

So a Chariot is a four-hole car, full stop. An RVR may not be.

The Modern RVR

The current GA-series RVR — the one sold as the Outlander Sport and ASX in export markets — is 5×114.3 on the same 67 mm bore, on 6.5J×16 at +46 or 7J×18 at +38.

That is thirty years of an unchanged bore, which is genuinely useful: a hub ring bought for a 1991 RVR fits a 2020 one.

67 mm Is the Mitsubishi Number

Worth restating because it catches people constantly. Mitsubishi uses 67 mm where Toyota uses 60.1 and Nissan uses 66. Those last two are close enough to 67 to bolt up and be wrong.

A Nissan wheel bored 66 mm will not pass over a 67 mm Mitsubishi hub — that failure is obvious and harmless. The dangerous direction is a 67 mm Mitsubishi wheel on a 66 mm Nissan hub, which fits loosely and lets the studs carry load they were not designed for. Our hub bore reference covers why that matters.

Sizing

+46 across the whole range, on a tall body with square arches. The usual upgrade is 16×7J in the +38 to +46 band, which is where the modern car sits from the factory.

If your car is four-hole you have a much narrower selection — 4×114.3 with a 67 mm bore is a genuinely awkward combination, and most 4×114.3 wheels in circulation are bored for Nissan’s 66 mm. Check that figure specifically.

Importing

The Chariot and first-generation RVR both launched in 1991 and are entirely eligible for US import. The Chariot was sold in North America as the Expo and the Eagle Summit Wagon; the RVR was not, which makes the Hyper Sports Gear turbo the interesting one — a 4G63T-adjacent turbocharged four-wheel-drive compact MPV with a sliding door.

What We Could Not Verify

  • Whether the single five-hole E-N13W X2 row is genuine or a data-entry error.
  • Whether the four-hole E-N23W R grade is a real base-grade specification or the same kind of artefact. Four rows is more convincing than one, but it is not proof.
  • Some rows on the Chariot page carry chassis codes that do not match any Chariot lineage we recognise. We have excluded them rather than report them.
  • A Hyper Sports Gear grade for the Chariot. We found it only on the RVR.
