i previously owned a 95 civic ej1 coupe, and i bought replica ssr reverse mesh style rims for it and they have the same lug pattern as the sentra i just bought but i cant get the rear tires over the back brake its gettin caught on a lip or something and its not sliding on flush...(if anyone understands that) sry lol but i wanted to kno will i always have a problem with rims not fittin on the back cuz of the drum brake? or is it just this set

and can i put newer sentra rims on there like from newer spec V's??

I thought the older Sentras were 4x100 as well.

Yeah, the 93 sentra is 4x100.

OP, just make it fit. Its a sentra.

Side note, I put some 205 series Yokohama slicks on some bada-s Weld wheels on a 93 sentra XE and it instantly turned into a freaking sweet race car. I did 125 on the highway like I owned the place. Took turns at break neck speed... Fun times. Case in point, put slicks on those wheels.

What offset are the wheels? Honda offsets may not work with the sentra...

(this should be in the wheels forum )

Take the center caps off the rear wheels. The little bearign cap that sticks out hits the center caps. I had the same problem with the Motegis on my old NX.

As was stated above, try taking off the center cap on the wheel.

this is what they look like and the problem is there is no center cap its just not sliding on all the way



this is kinda what they look like minus the star pattern in the middle..but there is no hubcap in the center its just not wide enough to fit on the hub or whatever but they fit on the fronts fine?? idk if its just cuz the rim is too small or if the drum brake has anything to do with it
