So Lets start with what that that first number.
114.3 is the distance from the center of the wheel (in america this is often in inches) in centimeters (Japan runs metric
).
the next number is 4. That is the lug count. How many bolts/lugs your wheels have. That should get you started.
There is also the size of the rims themselves. 10'' 11' 13'' etc.
This is mesured in the diamiter of the wheel. (Can't spell.) basicly the distance from one side of the rim to the other.
