    240sx bolt pattern?

    I thought some of you were fimiliar with the Nissans so I was wondering if you could let me know the bolt pattern?

    A guy emailed me and he says its a 114.3 x4 but I don't think I've ever heard of that. I though the 114 was always a 5 lugger hence why I'm asking the question.

    Also, my wheels have a double bolt pattern:
    4 x 3.93 or 4 x 100, what does the 4 x 3.93 translate into?


    Thankss

    That is the correct bolt pattern I believe.

      nissans came in both 4x114.3 and 5x114.3 more the older models use 4x114.3 or 4x4.5 i believe is another term for them

        i guess it depends on the year you are looking at 4x114.3 was for the s13 5x114.3 was for the s14+ body style

          alright.

          Do cars use the 3.93x 4 or does that magically say its for a 4x 114.3..I only could hope. He's interested but I'm thinking they won't fit unless by a miracle you tell me the 3.93 is 114.3 in alien language

            4x3.93 is the same as 4x100

                  Browse World Wide Metric's inventory of metric and ANSI products from leading manufacturers. Valves, flanges, fittings, tubing, and more for industrial applications.


                  100mm = ~3.93in

                  114.3mm = 4.5in

                  s13s ('89-94) all came with 4x114.3. s14s ('95-98) came with that, or 5x114.3 if it's an SE.

                  are the wheels you're talking about drilled with two sets of 4x100 holes? because it's not uncommon for them to have both 100 and 114.3...

                      yeah, those are two different bolt circles.

                      i'm gonna guess that the smaller set of 4 is 4x100.

                      pick two opposing holes in the bigger set and measure center-to-center.

                      if you get 4.5", your 240sx guy is probably good to go (but it's worth having him check what width/offset he wants). don't worry about center bore, 240's are lug-centric, not hub-centric like e30s.

                        Yep, the smaller set is 4x100. I need to figure out the other holes now. Thanks for your help

                        Edit: from the rear of the wheels from center to center of the larger spread holes they are about 4.5"s apart

                            I obviously want to be 100% sure so the caliper will help and does anyone know of a printable template?

                              the other set is 4x114.3.

                              there isnt really a 4xanything else as far as i know.
