  Custom Wheels


Does anyone know where I can get custom wheel fitting? I drive a 240sx with a 4x114.3 configuration and most 17x9 wheels are 5x114.3. Is there anyway that I can get it redrilled or something to a 4x114.3 and custom offset ?

most places won't be able to redrill wheels to a different lug count pattern (ie. 5 lug to 4 lug, etc) because of the backing of the wheel.

besides, most companies like Work, SSR, etc.. offer both 4 lug and 5 lug as with the same offsets as well...

^^^ There are lots of 4x114.3 wheel options. Just gotta do some research. Got a particular look in mind? Maybe we can point you in the right direction...

To me fitment is a combination of the wheel AND tire. A 225 tire on a 10" wide wheel doesn't "fit". It's like seeing a 6'2" guy walk around with 30" inseam jeans.... it looks F'n stupid

S14tan, you are by far the most helpful NICO member I've come across when it comes to simple "newbish" questions. Thanks for understanding that everyone has to start somewhere.
Thanks for the help man.

I'm looking for something conservative (not too flashy) and not many people have. The 5Zigen FN01R was my choice but it seems like everyone and their mothers have them. Kosei K1, Enkei RPF that kind of style. I'm trying to keep a budget of 250 each. So nothing exotic like JLines, Advan, Rays or BBS. I can always use spacers if its off by a little bit.

Heh...I have Kosei k1's.

FN's are available in 4 lug, but not in really low offsets. Plus, these aren't the only wheels 5zigen sells in 4 lug. They still look good though. Howeve, they are a completely different style from RPF01's.

I think you should first decide what wheel specs you want and then find something that fits that. I would go no less than 9 inches wide all around If I were buying new, and offsets no higher than +20.

Is this for an s13 or s14? Personally I'd shoot for 17x9.5+15 on an s13 and 18x9.5+15 on an s14.

Search the brands Adrian and S14tan mentioned. Also take a look at Rota's offerings, like the Grid Offroads, Boost, RB, Torque, P45R, etc... And if you have to, XXRwheels may have something you like...

5Zigen does offer FN's in +20 9x17 with 4 lug. I drive an S13 so 9x17 would be the widest I want to run because I don't want to roll my fenders to an extreme state. If I can't find anything then I might as well jump on the bandwagon and get the FN's.
