Which models came with the 4x114.3 pattern? Or do they come in that pattern at all?

the very lowest model of the 86-88 FC have 4 bolt. but I don't know if it's 114.3 or not.

poor college student

the se or base model s4's

Icemark

86-87 Base model
86-87.5 Luxury Coupe
87.5-88 SE

and 84-85 GSL-SE models.

Actually, only the GSL-SEs were 114.3. All others were 110.

Well, almost right... SA/FB models 79-83 had 4*110, but non-GSL-SE in Europe had 114.3 aswell for the last two model years (84-85). For FC's: I'm not sure about the other markets, but in Europe ALL FC's came with 5 bolts. So a 4 lug pattern in Europe means an imported US model, and a base model.
For you guys this might not be very important, but for us this can be confusing. As we have the Mazda-imported ones aswell as grey-imports from the US.

Any FC you come across with the phone dial wheels have that pattern. Hard to find wheels that fit that pattern, so mostpoeple do a five-lug conversion.

MY 88 has that pattern - anyone with a good set of wheels for cheap?

i grabbed a pair of 16 inch MOMO sports in 4X114.3 and 40 offset, i gues it fits integras and thats why they are some what easy to find

4x114.3 is a honda size, too. you can find wheels for them, but usually not in very good widths.

actually, 4X114.3 is becoming more and more common in wide wheel sizes without killer prices. companies like Work, Volk and Advan have always offered this bolt pattern in most wheels but they are just a LOT of money. 5Zigen offers a nice 5 spoke wheel in silver, gunmetal or bronze in 17X8 and 17X9 at around $170-$180 per wheel!! You can always find wide wheels this size from Japan importers for a decent price since the S13 has the same offset...the problem is you probably don't the makers name since it's not available in the US and shipping charges will cost a bunch unless they import a lot of stuff at once in which case you will wait a couple months.

that helps out a lot! i knew 5zigen had a couple of wheels that i liked, but i didn;t know if they would fit.

NO HONDA WHEELS ON THE FC!

mine doesnt, older fieros do too!!

You mean there were other 1st gen models than the GSL-SE that were worth driving???

Well, I was thinking about doing 5-to-4 lug conversion because as far as I can tell, there are no real advantage for me. And I know someone selling their 16" TE37 in 4x114.3 for dirt cheap...yes, cheap enough to justify the trouble.
