Basic wheel offset calculator

Detailed wheel and tire fitment calculator What does offset mean?*stock offset is 40mm on S13/S14*

Wheel weights Provides a great collection of wheel weights by diameter, but does not tell you weights by width(so it may be off on certain wheels because of width differences)...still a good 'rule of thumb' type guide to what wheels are worth buying for weight saving purposes.

More wheel weights and specs Like the site above, provide lots of useful wheel information, weights, bolt patters, finishes, etc.

Information on Wheel types/construction and pros and cons of each. Great practical info for what type of wheels you should buy, and why. Thanks to GRM. Plus sizing information, performance, etc. Track times, plus-sizing concept and feedback on what it does and why, again thanks to GRM.

Suzuki uses 60.06 hub bore. While the models Aero and Swift use a 4-4.5 blot pattern, the hub bore is too small to fit the 66.06 Nissan hub. No fit.

Toyota:most all toyota cars use smaller hub bore than Nissan, hence the wheels no fit! Several cars such as the '75-85 Celica GT RWD use 4-4.5 bolt pattern with a 60.06 hub bore. No fit. Avalon uses 5-4.5 with the same 60.06 hub bore. Again, good bolt pattern, bad hub bore. Others:Cressida, Corolla RWD, All Supra incl. Turbo use 60.06 hub bore. Every modern Toyota uses 60.06 or even smaller 54.06 hub bore. None will fit the 66.06 Nissan hub.

No VW

No Volvo (65.07 and 67.07hub bore, but the 67.07 hub bore wheels are the wrong bolt pattern)

A wee bit more wheel & weight info I found while looking for 350z stock & aftermarket weight stuff:

...

track wheels are 18.X lbs... close to 19lbs each.. but 8" and 8.5" while the nismo wheels are wider and a couple of ounces less...

...

SF Challenges are the lighter weight wheels from Volk... The SF Winnings add an extra 4lbs... depending on size...

18" SFC's are going to be around 19lbs my guess

What about for a 1999 Infiniti QX4 or Pathfinder?

this is great - if only the offset and width were posted for more of them.....

More wheel weights. This site is updated quite frequently...http://www.wheelweights.net/

FYI: the grassrootsmotorsports links are dead.

the 4X108mm SAAB wheels for the 900's and 9000 have a 65mm hub center and so do the newer 9-5 and 9-3 with the 5X114mm or 5X4.5 bolt pattern.

The newer 9-3/9-5 Saabs are 5x110.. I ran into that when trying to get my wife new wheels for her '00 9-5 Combi

Merkur XR4Ti is 4x108 (same as audi 4000 quattro) and is RWD, contrary to what many thinkMerkur Scorpio is 5x108, and is also RWD

whats the biggest wheel application to fit on a 240 S13? i was wanting to get the sportmax 006, i want the black/red anodized color option but dont want 17x7 and the only other size they have it in for 4 lug (that im not sure if it will fit without having a tiny tire) is 18x7.5 ... is that wheel too big for my 240 i havent got lowering springs on it so its not like ittl be in the wheel well.. please lemme know.. im in for purchasing if i can confirm the fit..

I've seen 18x7.5 with 235 on front and rear in S-13 hatch. Lowered about 2 inches.

I'm thinking of running a staggered combo and am thinking of using 225/45-17 and 255/40-17's. Can anyone suggest a rim width/offset/backspace that will work, or would it be better to run the same at all 4 corners? (other than the ability to rotate). 1992 coupe, no suspension mods (YET!)
