Hello,

I inherited a set of 17" Momo Arrow that I want to put on my '93 240sx. I tried the rear wheel. The lug pattern is fine (4 X 114). However, there is a center circle part of the wheel that is smaller than that of the hub. Does anyone know if I can use a spacer for these rims? Or should I just abandon my plan?

Thanks,

Abondon, if you still can. While nice wheels, that are quite strong, they usually have a high offset. Higher than factory +40mm offset. I have no reference in front of me, but usually you will find a +42 on these wheels. They work well on honda accords and preludes. Not so well on the Nissan rwd. Sure, it still may fit as far as offset is concerned, but these wheels also incorporate a hubcentric ring, which is sized for specific applications. It most likely has a hubcentric ring for honda fitment.

Avoid a spacer, but if you must have these wheels on the car, see if

A-there is a removable hubcentric ring, usually held in place with a snap ring, and B-after removal of hubcentric ring, ensure that the wheel will fit correctly(with concern to higher than factory offset, and wider wheel).

You should always insist upon aftermarket wheels with hubcentric rings for exact hub fitment. This will save a great deal of heartache in the long run, and hopefully eliminate many vibration issues.

Also, you need a hubcentric ring that will fit the MOMO Sport with an inner diameter of 66.06mm

OK, I will abandon my plan. Drivability is one of the most important issues in my book. Thanks SmithSR.
