Wheel Fitment

Hi all,

I have a 2001 Anniversary Edition and I have the factory OEM wheels on it. I wanted to know if anybody knows the back spacing/offset/bolt pattern...? I'd like to replace the wheels, but I need to be sure the wheels I buy match the original fitment. Please help! Thanks!!!

bolt pattern is 5 x 114.3 mm (114.3 mm - 4.5 inches)

The info I have says the offset is +40 mm

The center hub opening is 66.1 mm (2.6 inches) MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THIS!

The width of the rim is 6.5 inches if it is a 16 inch rim, 7.0 inches for a 17 inch rim.

I've always been cornfuzed with the difference between 00/1 and 02/3 17" wheel offsets.

Are the rear and front wheels bores different? I had fitment problems with a wheel back in the day. It fit the front but not the rear, needed to shave off some mat'l from the center of the wheel.

Many cars and our Maxima is among them, have different size hubs front and rear. Off the top of my head, I think it's the rear hubs that are bigger on our cars.

Many cars have a 5 x 114 bolt pattern, but their wheels won't fit because of the hub size. As an example, I can put my Maxima wheels on my Lexus, but not the reverse and it is because of the hub size.

Yup. For some odd reason Nissan/Infiniti have a high value of ~66 vs ~64 (popular among Honda/Toyota/Lexus/Acura)
