What the hell...I just got back from two places: Tire Kingdom, and discount tires. I was ready to buy tires for my KONIG CAFFEINE 17x7's and both places these wheels wont fit my maxima. But all you guys were saying they'll fit. I thought you could buy a lug adaptor or something, one place said it was too dangerous, and the other just said 100% they wont fit. Well im really ****ed off, becuase I really like these wheels and spent $$$$$$ on em. And to top it off my dumb-*** brother dropped one wheel and scratched it.

PLEASE HELP

I hope not. It looks inevitable though.

Have you jacked the car up and tried to put it on? If it came off a V6 accord, then it will fit. Is the rim a universal 5 lug rim? You can tell if it has like 10 holes.

I suggest that you stop crying and jack the car up and try and put the rim on. Then you will have a definite answer.

Simple enough, eh?

We turned the wheel over. It has 8 holes. And when the employee put his little fit bracket over it, it didnt measure out right. I dont think we have the proper tools here at home for that.

Any other suggestions, anyone ?

If it has 8 holes there's no way. That's a universal 4-lug bolt pattern. Fire up good old eBay...

Hey

Yup they are 4-Lug. They should fit your friends sentra. And damn will they look good. The pictures do them no justice. I have pictures of them. One of the wheels has a Nitto Tire, looks new.

The wheels have some minor scratches on the OUTER edges. (None on the actual wheel). One Wheel has a little dent on the outer part, but doesnt effect the wheel itself at all, and tire will fit on it.

I just cleaned all the break dust off them, and they look very nice.

I bought them for a grand total of 511.00.(ahh the magic of ebay) So somewhere around there.

CraigMack155@hotmail.com is my email. Again, I have pics, so email me if your interested. Thanks alot.

RE: GOOD NEWS CRAIG...
Yes, you can put the wheels on. However, they are 4 lug so you will have to buy a spacer/adapter. They are $50, but they will also make your wheel stick out about 2" (which really won't look that bad). They will take care of your wheel problem altogher, and you can go buy tires . Just trying to help.

Hey vyrus. I asked both places about adaptors. Neither will do it becuase they say it is too dangerous. But thanks for trying to help me. I appriciate it.

RE: GOOD NEWS CRAIG...
People do it to Hondas all the time and they work pretty well...most people get them for looks, but they are available for the lugs too...a place called Ricky Racer out of CA can get them to you for $45. Try them they look good, but if you pick up a recent copy of Sport Compact you can look throught the ads and there are TONS of places that sell them. Rick Racer number: 1-800-962-8789. Just trying to help .

the new V6 accord's lug pattern is identical to ours but the previous generation 4cyl accord had only 4 lugs. im not sure if its all the new accords that have 5x114.3 or all the V6's that have 5x114.3 lug patters.
