Just a heads up. Nissan is using a 4x100mm bolt pattern now with a 60mm center bore. Difficult to find rims for winter use, and any nissan 4 bolt rims will no longer fit the versa

I'm assuming this is for the sedan only correct?

That's annoying

That's annoying

Beyond annoying. The biggest aftermarket steel wheel has a 58mm center bore. The versa is a 60mm. I had to send some wheels to get milled out as nissan canada had none

 

[robj80]

can you please post your source. The online wheel companies ( Tire Rack - Your performance experts for tires and wheels ) list it as the same 4x114. Also specify if this is just the sedan or both the hatch and sedan. Thanks.

yup.......

Not good. Im a big fan of OEM wheels so I was hoping I could throw some 2012 wheels on my V. Is the new hatch going to be 4 X 100 as well?

 

[jbeau]

I assume as much. This screwed me over at work. It's not like Nissan told us even

 

[robj80]

Just to tell you the b13 and b14 chassis nissans also used 4x100 so you should be able to use them if the center bore is the same.

for stock wheels yes 4x100 sucks but for aftermarket 4x100 is way better then 4x114.3

I wonder if changing the wheels has a big impact on the suspension. I know that you have to be careful about size but weight has to be an issue as well. I'v been looking to go up an inch but keep the sidewall the same just to fill the wheel well. Don't think that's going to happen. Maybe I'll just get a set of stock alloys and powder coat them.

agreed! I would have found it so much easier to just find a used set of rims in the classifieds if they were 4x100 rather than the 4x114.3

damn you nissan lol *shakes fist*

if you go up a size on your rims and still keep your sidewall the same hight your going to throw the speedometer way off

Agree as well. as far as i know larger rims but has lower profile tires may give you a stiffer ride and may affect car's suspenison. Lower profile rubbers are more susceptible to damage from road hazards. Anyway, there are car parts stores online that deal on this. They are experts on wheels no matter what you use on your vehicles.

I'm so confused now!!! lucky i work at a tire shop, im going to have to confirm this today, i been looking for the last two weeks at 4x114.3 wheels. does this mean on my 2012 hatch its now 4x100?

 

[jbeau]

No need to conffirm trust me i work at a dealer. I dont know of any aftermarket wheel 4x100 with a big enough center bore

edit: steel at least

The 2012 hatch should still be 4x114 since its still the 1st generation.

 

[jbeau]

The hatch is still 4x114.3

 

[pdxboy27]

The hatch is still 4x114.3

So just the Sedan 2012, which i purchased last November of 2011, is the 4x100 bolt pattern? I am for sure getting the Enkei RPF1 15's then with a 9.5lb wheel weight, that may cut 10lbs a wheel...?
