Hello folks, I am looking for replacement wheels for my 2006 Sentra. I have had a couple of threads on it. My car’s wheel size is 16" x 6", 4 Lug, 4.5" Bolt Pattern and I found a good set of 16" x 6.5", 4 Lug, 4.5" Bolt Pattern for a reasonable price. I am not too sure if these will fit. Can anyb…

You’ll need to determine if the wheel offset values are the same.

2 more numbers you need to insure they fit. Center hole diameter. It must e bigger than your present wheels. Best if is the same size since the wheels pilot on the center hub. You can buy ring spacers or run without them - but then the pilot is the wheel studs themselves and that can sometimes ca…

[image] Mustangman: The wheel offset, usually molded into the wheel right there with the diameter and width. Usually labeled ET 42 or ET37 or similar. That number is how far from the centerline of the wheel the mounting face is located. @Noelm Read above. Your car needs positive offset wheel…

Thank you. I quickly searched. Mine is ET42 and the wheels are ET45. The center hold diameter is same 66.1mm Always learning something new.

Are these wheels also from a Sentra? A wider wheel needs to have a larger offset to give it the same geometry as a narrower one. The difference between the the widths is 1/2", which is 12.7 mm. Dividing this in half, the offset would need to be 6.35 mm higher to be exactly the same. The difference o…

[image] NYBo: A wider wheel needs to have a larger offset to give it the same geometry as a narrower one. That doesn’t sound right. Keeping the same offset was what I’ve read. The offset determines where the center line of the wheel is relative to the mounting point, which determines the le…

The wider the wheel, the farther the center line is from the edge. But I’m not sure my reasoning is correct here.:confused:

The offset does need to change many times, but for a different reason, according to Tire Rack: “If the offset of the wheel is not correct for the car, the handling can be adversely affected. Often, when changing the width of the wheel, the offset will also need to change to maintain proper clearanc…

I was just going to correct my post with that same info from the same source! But to the original question, these wheels may or may not be usable. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=101&s_kwcid=AL!3756!10!78065375014659!78065397618163&ef_id=W0OYcgAAB7gZwhGW:20190625021217:s …

Thanks for the feedback. It’s nice to know which of us were right and which of them were wrong.
