changing stud pattern

Postby EGG80X » Thu Nov 08, 2007 1:42 pm

Just shopping for some dish rims and seem like there are boat lots of 4x114.3 dished rims

114.3 PCD is not uncommon. My Starcorp wheels are multifit, 4 x 100 and 4 x 114.3. The following link is a good guide, even if it comes from the UK.

yahuh... I've realised that PCD of 114.3 is quite common, it's taking over from the 4x100 that was so prevalent before

but with 114.3 it's usually done with 5 stud instead of 4
off the top of my head
5x114.3 is pretty much every Skyline... SR20 Nissan... current gen civics... integras... accords... RX7s

Thats all I meant :)

heaps of cars have 114.3 its the old 4.5 inch pcd. It should be a good one to go to because most of the dishy wheels around fit silvias and alike which are 4 x 114.3
