Mazda B-Series Wheels and Rims

Mazda B-Series Aftermarket Wheel Fitment

The Mazda B-Series is the compact pickup Mazda sold in North America from 1994 through 2009 as a rebadged Ford Ranger. The 1994-2009 B-Series is mechanically identical to the contemporary Ford Ranger: same chassis, same engines, same suspension, same wheel hub. The B-Series was sold across that run as the B2300 (2.3L 4-cylinder), B3000 (3.0L V6), and B4000 (4.0L V6) trims, in both 2WD and 4WD configurations. Mazda discontinued the B-Series in North America after the 2009 model year. Element Wheels measures fitment on both the 2WD and 4WD B-Series catalog rows directly. Both rows run 5x114.3 with a 70.5mm hub bore on a 5-lug hub. Square fitment, matched front-rear brake. Pick your configuration below.

Find Your Mazda B-Series Configuration

Pick your drivetrain configuration to see wheels and rims that fit your specific 1994-2009 Mazda B-Series. Both the 2WD and 4WD configurations share the same 5x114.3 / 70.5mm hub spec. The reason we maintain separate catalog rows is the 4WD truck sits higher and has a different suspension geometry than the 2WD truck, which constrains the upper end of the aftermarket diameter and width window on the 4WD. The bolt pattern and hub bore are the same on both.

The Mazda B-Series Bolt Pattern and Hub Bore

Every 1994-2009 Mazda B-Series runs 5x114.3 with a 70.5mm hub bore and 12x1.5 lug nuts on a 5-lug hub. That spec is identical on the 2WD and 4WD configurations, on the B2300, B3000, and B4000 trims, and on the contemporary Ford Ranger that the B-Series rebadges. The 5x114.3 pattern is also expressed as 5x4.5 in imperial nickname because 114.3mm equals 4.5 inches exactly. Hub bore on the B-Series is 70.5mm, which is the Ford truck corporate hub bore used across the small Ford truck lineup of that era. A wheel with a centerbore larger than 70.5mm needs hub centric rings to bring the bore down to the B-Series hub diameter. If your fitment needs rings, they'll be included with the order.

One thing to flag because it catches B-Series buyers cross-shopping wheels. 5x114.3 is NOT the same as 5x115. The two patterns sit about 0.7mm apart at the bolt circle, which is enough to stress the lug studs and create a real safety problem over time. The 5x4.5 imperial nickname refers to 5x114.3 only (because 4.5 inches equals 114.3mm exactly). 5x115 has no imperial nickname that overlaps with 5x4.5. When you are shopping for B-Series wheels, confirm the listing reads 5x114.3 specifically. The B-Series is also NOT the larger Ford F-Series 5x135 or 6-lug hub.

Why the 2WD and 4WD B-Series Have Different Fitment Windows

The 2WD and 4WD B-Series share the same bolt pattern, hub bore, and lug spec. The two configurations diverge at the suspension geometry and fender well clearance. The 4WD truck sits higher than the 2WD truck, has a different front suspension and front differential package, and the upper end of the aftermarket diameter and width window is constrained as a result. The 2WD B-Series accepts 15 to 22 inch diameters and a 6 to 9.5 inch width square. The 4WD B-Series accepts 16 to 20 inch diameters and a 6.5 to 8.5 inch width square. The 2WD can go further in diameter and wider in width, the 4WD has a more bounded aftermarket window because of the front diff and the higher ride height.

Both configurations run square (same width front and rear) from the factory and on every aftermarket build we measure. Brake size is matched front to rear on every B-Series catalog row. There is no factory staggered B-Series in any trim or year.

Every wheel we recommend is backed by our Fitment Guarantee. If a wheel does not fit, we pick up the wheels and refund 100 percent. No risk to you.

How We Confirm Fitment on Mazda B-Series Wheels

Element Wheels measures fitment on the Mazda B-Series directly on both the 2WD and 4WD configurations. That means clearance from the wheel to the fender on a compact pickup body, gap between the back of the wheel and the front differential on the 4WD, hub bore confirmation at 70.5mm, lug seat geometry on the M12x1.5 thread on a 5-lug hub, brake caliper clearance check, and turning clearance at full lock. The 4WD truck adds front diff clearance and the higher ride height changes the fender clearance math. At our fitment facility in Chandler, Arizona, the Element Wheels team measures directly on the physical platforms we support. We don't pull specs from manufacturer sheets the way most retailers do.

The 1994-2009 Mazda B-Series shares the Ford Ranger chassis end to end as a rebadge, so measured data on the Ranger cross-references the B-Series directly at the hub spec, brake clearance, and suspension geometry level. Confirm 2WD versus 4WD before ordering because that single axis changes the diameter and width window even with the same bolt pattern.
