Wheel Upgrade

SpongeBob-RC · Aug 3rd, 2003, 08:47 AM

I was just looking on Ebay and saw a 95-99 Sentra 5 spoke wheel, and I wondered if it would fit my 91 Sentra E. The size was 15x5.5 w/ 4x100 bolt pattern. That should bolt right up shouldn't it? If so, this may be a cheaper alternative to upgrading my wheels/tires without getting into trouble with the wife!

Thanks in advance for the info.

yes they should fit. only the 2000 and up wont fit cause they have a bolt pattern of 4x114

They will fit, a lot of people run these wheels on the B13s. Just make sure you go with a 195/50 or 205/50 tire.

hey, i ended up gettin 14x6 alloys (the 6 spokes on 200sx's and a couple sentra's '95-'98). because these are 6" do you think I should get 195/55s or the 185/60s?

Like Serban the man says, go with a 195/50, that way you won't screw up your speedo. I'm running 195/50R15's right now on my Rota Battles and I can't tell any difference in the ride from the 185/60R14's I had before. A 195/50 will makeyour speedo read fast but that's better than it reading slow, which is what a 205/50 would do. If you can find a good 205/45 that'd be a better choice for speedo reasons. I wonder how the ride would be with 16" wheels? IMHO 16" is probably the ideal wheel size cosmetically and if you get the right tire on there you won't loose any performance. You'd have to run a 205/40 or a 195/45 if you were running 16's.
