92 Sentra SE-R wheel question!

[Hondissan]

Ok I know I have the 4x100 pattern but something threw me off guard the other day.

I had a set of Integra LS wheels that were professionally coated bronze with new Falken tires so I wanted to try them on. I put them on but noticed that the lugnuts didn't thread all the way but i tightened them. I then looked at my hub. The wheels weren't touching the hub surface at all. Why is this?

This is bothering me because the SE-R needs new tires really soon and I am thinking of just buying a set of new wheels to go with it so I can run a bigger/better tire instead of running the prepubescent 185s. Can someone point me in the right direction as to where I can get a good set of wheels for a decent price?

Thanks!

First off, you have a 4X114.3 bolt pattern.

As for finding wheels, try Tirerack, but generally they're more expensive. EdgeRacing.com has a pretty good selection and will bundle them with tires too.

I went to Tirerack an put in 92 Sentra SE-R and it is giving me wheels with a 4x100 pattern.

My apologies. I find that very odd seeing as Nissan used a 4X114.3 on the non-SE 240SXs, for instance, of the same year range (5X114.3 for the SEs) and for 2000+ Sentras. Anyway, I checked it and you're right.

I don't see why they won't sit right unless you're contacting something somewhere. I'd look around the wheel and see. The only other thing I can think of is that your lugnuts aren't deep enough.

One thing I am thinking is that maybe the center dust cover is preventing the wheel from fully contacting the hub assembly.

the wheel is not sitting right because the hole in the center of the rim is different , the honda rim is smaller

Thanks for your help guys.
