I have a 93 s-13 with 15'' 4lug rims, and wrapped in 60r15/195's

Now, I just raped two rims and tires off of a (95-98?) 200sx, I believe. rims are 15 with four lug, and are wrapped in 60r15/205's.

Question is: Do the 200SX and 240SX have the same lug pattern (width), or did Nissan change the lug pattern size like F!@ken Pontiac did with Grand Am's?

200sx is front wheel drive, 240sx is rear wheel drive. They will have different offsets.

edit: you can use the rubber though! :D

lbrowne, sorry man, proved it wrong! The 200SX rims fit up snug with the rear wheel lugs on my 240SX, so the rim swap is most definitely possible. And with upgrade from 195's to 205's, I have a lil bit bigger, better looking tires :)

I had a really good reply typed up to this post and the fuqin webpage musta gimped or sumthin. so heres the short version

i shoulda been clearer, i never went they wouldn't fit on because indeed the bolt pattern could very well be the same.

but from a fwd to a rwd the norm is that the rim offset is different.
