Default Question about wheels?

Will 1990 Nissan 240 wheels fit on a prelude i found some technical specs. The reason I ask is because i'm looking into buying some wheels for my prelude, but the wheels are from a 240.

MODEL: PRELUDE SI
Year: 92-96
Size: 15 X 6
P.C.D. 4X114.3
Lug Size: 12mmX1.5
MM: 64.1
Offset: H

MODEL: 240SX
Year: 89-96
Size: 15 X 6
P.C.D. 4X114.3
Lug Size: 12mmX1.25
MM: 66.1
Offset: H

Offset H = High Positive or FWD (Front Wheel Drive) typically +45,40,35 offsets

Thanks in advance,

Jacen

Looks like it should fit.

What is the width of the rims? Tire size?

tires are too tall, and you'll want to find the exact offset for the wheel before you go ahead and buy some. the difference b/w +30 and +45 is huge in terms of looks and compatibility.

If I remember a 4th gen Prelude's offset is +50....but I could (and prolly am) wrong

Anyways, I'm kind of in the same field, I want some wheels that I assume are intended for Nissans with a +35 offset for my Prelude, before I spend the money I'd like to make sure they fit (16x7 btw)

If one offset is 35+ and the other is 45+, it will not fit. As bad-monkey stated, you need to find the correct/closest offset.

45et sounds right to me about that offset for the 92-96 prelude. Pretty sure that the 240 wheels are going to be to low of n offset for the lude. Usually the rear wheek drive applications dont fit the fwd applications.
