bolt pattern

so i did some searches on the forum, and didnt find what i was looking for. i'm sure i could really really hit it hard but i'm a lil buzzed....anyways. Would this bolt pattern fit 4x100 - 4x4.5/114.3 offset 42? thanks for the help, honestly sorry if i missed the "big red truck" on this one guys.

They are completely different bolt patterns......

So no.

You need the 4x114.3 bolt pattern, and it will not fit 4x100.

For reference. 1st gens Non se are 4x110
Se are 4x114.3

So again, no. If it bolts up DONT DO IT. Some patterns are close enough that they will bolt up but its huge stress on the bolts

Again not overly sure what you are asking becuase the bolt patterns you stated are completely different. I think you might be trying to ask something else, or you missed the big red truck. One of the 2

It has been said before in a thread somewhere, but there are INCORRECT bolt patterns that will bolt up to our cars. They WILL cause stress fractures and disaster.

I would double check SE pattern (cant remember if its 4x114 or 4x114.3)

As well, your car will have a different offset required than the 12A first gens.

But yea, make SURE the pattern is correct!!!

its 4x114.3mm, and its a direct crossover to 4x4.5", but im not sure on what offset the SE needs. I think the bolt pattern issue came up w/ the non-SE's because people were trying to use 4x108mm wheels on the 110 pattern causing safety issues

K so hang on then GOTPAM.

Are these rims you are looking at dual pattern?

Alot of rims will come dual pattern, you just need to get the right offset. I wasnt sure what you were asking hence my response

well the wheels i'm looking at are the Tenzo type M's, i was looking into the 17's. The only other config they have is for a 5 bolt pattern. I've got a set of konig's right now DTD reign's right now, but the new look i'm going for if i get the FB repainted will be great with the Tenzo's. Should i look into spacers you think?

if possable avoid using spacers, try your best to find a wheel w/ the correct offset
