Hello All,

I have a 96 maxima with 17in giovanna corsicas. Can someone tell me what the bolt pattern/offset is for the 96 maxima?

I know the rims can be configured in 2 different setups for various cars but am unsure of what either is? Is there a way to measure it so I know what each setup is?

Thank you
gmax

5 x 114.3 bolt pattern
offsets...I think 30? - 45, but it really depends on the rim width.
Someone will be able to help you better on the offset.

5x114.3 is the pcd, the offset could be anything since they are aftermarket (oem is 40mm).

there is a tool for measuring pcd (google) but the 2nd pcd is most likely 5x100.

Thank you both for the information. That is very useful.


What is the normal offset for cars with a 5 bolt pattern?

40-42mm?

Also if one was to sell their rims, what would be useful information one would need to know to purchase them? Is the bolt pattern and offset needed or just the offset so long as they know its a 5 bolt pattern?

Thanks,
gmax

One last thing. I had rings that fit into the center of rim.

Are these offset rings?

Key measurements for rims:

Bolt pattern
offset
centerbore


Good site for checking this stuff: (not sure if the site is still up) http://www.4autostuff.net/wheels/inf...tReference.htm

offset is going to vary a lot from car to car even with the same bolt pattern. it might be stamped into the back side of the wheel or on a sticker. it is fairly important in doing a good wheel transaction, but some ppl will just buy stuff and throw it on.

the rings are hubcentric rings, which keep the wheels stable. they are related to centerbore, which is also important because if the bore is too small they wont fit on the car. iirc ours is 66.1 but the bore of the wheels is obviously larger or you wouldn't have rings.

bolt pattern is also important.

as in Pontiac Vibe? just Google it, 5x100

offset is difficult to explain, 40 offset is FWD offset, and low offset is like deep dish rims that RWD cars can pull off

TravisCadello

ok, so their commin off a fwd so should be good with mine. their 18s ill have to look into the offset. if the offset isnt right what happens.

and will this do what i need to do?

i think they just wont fit

maybe im reading it wrong but i think that converts 5x100 to 5x114.3. ive never heard of those converters either

TravisCadello

so do i need 5x114.3 to 5x100?

to use Vibe rims i guess so, Google Pontiac Vibe bolt pattern. i just hit one of the first few links to a forum and some people said 5x100

rather than fooling around with adapters, i would just get some 5x114.3 rims
