Upgrade Wheels

[bubba]

Hi guys First timer and post here hello to all!!
Just become the owner of one of these well tidy little Micra this one being a K11 Nissan Micra Ally, I am debating actually about changing Ally and putting an R in front of it hehehe!!

Ok not my question above so here we go.. I am thinking about changing the wheels on this motor and upgarding them from 13" to 14" is this possible, anyone here done that? I take it there would be plenty of clearence. The 13" steel rims look lost. I am not going to buy the wheels brand new so looking around for 4 alloys with tyres at a fair price.. Even if i have to change the tyres or tidy the alloys up..

Is there alloy wheels from any other make of vehicle which will safely fix to the K11 Micra.

4x100 pcd/ fitment
And a centre bore of 59.1
Good luck

No lower than 13" though and no higher than 19" (I tried)

Sorry Micra Pro for my ignorance, But what exactly are you saying? Are you saying that a plate of some kind needs to be fitted.. Or you saying if i were to use another wheel from another make of vehicle it has to be 59.1?? Thank you for your input..

I there thank you for your reply so it is ok to fit 14" wheels and tires? Hmm why would someone want to go to 12"?? My wheels at 13" look lost well they do since i fitted these hub caps which i hate God knows why i purchased them.

What micrapro is saying is that when you're looking for wheels those are the credentials you're looking for
12" came on the original K10 rare wheels these days.
You can have any size you wish
I have 15" with no running issues

And almost all of those cars listed have a much smaller centre bore, in fact I believe the only ones that don't are the Renault's and obviously the Nissans unless it's a N16 which is the wrong pcd

just a question on this if the 15" rims im running at the moment have an offset of 40 (Almera GTI rims)with no problems, would a set with an offset of 45 cause me issues and would they sit in further or poke out further (there Rover wheels) how much would need machining out the centre to fit and is it difficult?
