Wheels

[DDC]

What is the wheel fitment on the Micra? What other cars have similar wheels?

 

[Huggy444]

Its a 4x100 with a centre bore of 59.1 irc... Almera n15, nissan sunny and 100nx alloys fit

Cheers for the advice. Hopefully get some alloys soon, not wanting to be running about with wheels trims.

Rather than start a new thread, would wheels off a Mazda MX-5 fit?

 

[MicrAde]

Pcd is correct, centre bore will need opening up or the wheels will need spacing out past the spigot

 

[DDC]

So a bit of work involved then?

Little bit, not too bad. My mini rims CB's were too small so I spent about 4 hours with a hand file and a flapwheel in an electric drill to open them up. I'm a tight sod though Ideally they would be professionally machined out, don't let my cheap ass ghetto mods influence you in any way

I prefer no work at all, just put the wheels on. So it's just really k11 micra, n15 almera, sunny and 100nx wheels that are exact fit. Any others? What about clio alloys?

You know to escape your centre bore you'll need and 8mm spacer. Then any 4x100 wheels are an option.
I use an 8mm on my standard studs no problem. No need for extended ones

Having it sitting on the hub is safer though, stops wheel studs flexing so much over very hard bumps. Spacing wheels puts more strain too.
Historically though it's not been a problem with micras.

 

[h701micra]

There's enough strength in a wheel stud. As long as its torqued up correctly they'll be no issues.
Never had a problem with spacers under 12mm

It's a good job not everyone has the 'prefer no work' mentality or we'd all be driving the same car Clio iirc are 1mm bigger on cb, you can get 1mm spigot rings though

Yeah that very true

4 hours?

I spent £5 per wheel to get them done on a lathe in a matter of minutes.

 

[DDC]

Ideally I would like to find almera gti alloys but they seem to be pretty rare.

That's 20 quid I already had a flapwheel so it was a free mod

 

[Enuo]

4 hours flapping is 4 hours you could have been earning £6 minimum wage, so you actually cost yourself £4 lol

You taking the piss? I'm currently applying for approx 15 jobs per week to try and get minimum wage Free car mods are my escape and relaxation so I actually enjoyed it. Nowt better than a successful mod for free

They're always your proudest mods too

 

[MicrAde]

It wouldn't be so much fun (though things would happen a damn sight quicker ) if I could just throw money at it

 

[h701micra]

I know the feeling. You learn to do things on the cheap/free so you get more for your money when you have a few pence

Exactly So satisfying

Though I may have bitten off a little more than I can chew by getting another engine I don't even have offstreet parking ffs!
