13" rims wanted

tibalde · Nov 24th, 2004, 05:39 PM

Hello everyone, I am new here...

Maybe it is a dumb question, but I will ask anyway...

My car is a Sentra XE 96. I have 175/70R13 winter tires and I am looking for suitable rims. I know I need 4x100 mm ones, but I am not sure about the center hole and clearance for brakes. The center hole is 2.5" in diameter, which appears to be a bit bigger than on other cars I have seen. I have been desperately looking on the web and in classifieds to find suitable rims but they all seem to have a smaller center hole, like 2.25" or less. Does anyone know of any stock rims on some cars that I should be looking for? I am also concerned about the clearance for the brakes.

Thanks.

Most stock wheels for other cars won't fit because of the center hole. Most of them are too small. So it's best to try to find the oem 14" sentra wheels.

thank you for your fast reply!

So I guess it means I will have to look for new tires too, since mine are R13. I can't believe Nissan are alone making rims with 2.5" center hole!

Check the classifieds on here and see if anyone is parting out a sentra. They might not list it but most likely they'll have em unless already sold.

I would think any from 91 to 99 with the stock 13's.

Tibalde,
I have my stock 13" rims from when I upgraded my 98 Sentra to 15" rims/tires... They even still have the stock tires with about 10k miles on them. If you are interested, PM me and we can work out price/shipping/etc.

Use the private message system or the classifieds.

this is every stock wheel that fits on our car there are many steelies and aloys

i think that is the nicsest looking 13in. for our cars. if you painted it a black or bronze color (or anything else if you didnt like the oem silver) that would look really cool. look around in the classifieds for them im sure you can find something
