OEM rims from different car

Post by **irish stout** » Tue Dec 24, 2002 11:28 am

I've got an S13 240SX (1990). Does anyone know what other models of cars have the same bolt pattern rims and will fit? I tried my friend's rx-7 wheels once when I bent mine and they were REALLY close but no luck.

A lot of the Ford wheels fit, but mainly 5lug, which doesn't help you much. I think the old 'pony' wheels are 4lug though. Toyota wheels have a smaller hub bore, so they won't work. I've seen Starion wheels on a 240 before also, but I'm not sure if all Mitsubishi hub bore/lug patterns are the same.

Thanks for the info. Lost_To_A_K- Car, how much did you get your wheels for?

was that with tires or no?

hey do you have any pics of your car lost? Are the wheels really sunkin in? I hear the spec v wheels have a high offset. Wonder if they would clear coilovers and z brakes.

"but I have no idea how they'd be with coilovers"horrible. you'd need probably 15mm spacers, at least, if not 20mm.-chet

I did some more digging on this, with a 5lug you could use 93+ 626, MX6, and Probe wheels too. Mitsubishi 5 lugs will also work, but these will all need spacers as well.

Slightly off topic, but it looks like his question was answered.

New Maximas and Altimas have slightly lower offsets than 90-96 ZX wheels. I have coilovers and was wondering if Maxima or Altima (new) wheels would eliminate the problem of spacers. Thanks.

I tried putting a set of each on my car. 17" Maxima wheels hit the Z caliper before the wheel studs ever poke through, Altima wheels fit but barely, I have 26mm calipers so the 30s would hit, and the OE tires rub the strut slightly.

Thanks R240, what wheels did you end up with? I got a load of cash just waiting to be spend...well not actually a load (more like barely enough, haha). I really wanted an OE wheel, but I guess thats not gonna happen...unless I end up running spacers (which looks likely).

17x8 Advan Siennas, 35mm offset, sourced from a local importer off a Skyline GTS-T. Yum, cheaper than the Altima wheels too. Problem with the Altima wheels is they're selling like hotcakes on Ebay since owners of S models want to swap up. The OE tires suck anyway so the clearance issue there would be handled by going low-pro, but even wheels alone without tires go for $650+. I'm also about to get a set of the 18" G35 Sport wheels for spares, but I'm curious if the 16" sedan wheels would work for those looking for a cheaper route. Anyone know the offset on those? Seems like Nissan wouldn't offer a widely different offset between the 16" and 17" but who knows.

I love those Advans...maybe I should try to source some of those...I really like the G35 wheels too, I thought I read the offset as being 40, but I am unsure...They were on Ebay MONTHS ago.

Good luck on cheap Advans. They retail in the US for $610 each in that size. http://www.autoimaging.com has a full listing.
