Just curious about something... I have a 96 240sx se but I noticed that most of the models come with 5 bolt patterns. Mine seems to be a 4 bolt pattern. Is this rare? Anyone know why there is a difference?

Any input plz... thx.

http://garage.projectraine.com....htmlI don't know if this list applies to models in Canada but check your VIN/MIN to see if its an SE. 96-UP SE are 5 lug 16inch rims, base models are 4 lug 15inch.

yeah its a SE. Nissan had a base model, a base model SE like yours, and a SE (the one with all the goodies, 5lug, lip, white guages etc.)

I think its a canada only thing i have one too. My VIN says its a SE

Ah ha... I see~ thanks for all the replies...

It must be a Canadian thing or something... anyways... I guess my car is base model se then...

Other than the rim size difference, any preference over the bolt pattern??

4 bolt better? 5 bolt better?
