I have a 1994 dodge shadow 2.2 TBI. Everywhere I've searched suggests that these cars have a 5x100 bolt pattern. However, I measured it, and mine has a 5x114 bolt pattern (67mm center-to-center on adjacent bolts; contrast w/ my '89 voyager, which is 59mm, or 5x100). Was 5x114 a factory option on the shadow in 1994?

I've ordered some EBC yellow pads for the lemons race next weekend, and I'm concerned that if hubs are non-stock, then maybe the calipers aren't either, and the brake pads I ordered won't work, and I won't have time to order new pads.

Any insight would be appreciated.

You must have 15 inch wheels which was an option on higher level models. The parts catalog probably lists an option for brakes with 15 inch wheels. Do you have rear disc brakes?

Even the 15" wheels were 5x100mm on the Shadow. I suspect if you have 5x114mm someone pirated the brakes from a minivan (which were much larger than the car brakes an used the 5x114mm bolt pattern for 15" and larger wheels).

Another possibility is that someone put adapters on the wheels. As soon as you take the wheels off, that should be obvious. I see that there are 5X100mm to 5X115mm adapters available for the Sundance in the aftermarket for those that want to use different rims.
