Default 4x114.3 nissan/datsun rims on 4th gen prelude

ok ive seen some people do this on their car for just spares or whatever but i have a few questions. the 240sx rims are also 114.3 BUT the bolt size is 1.25. will that effect the drive of the car since our 4th gens are 114.3 but 1.50 botl size? please let me know guys cuz i bought some nice BBS rims that came off a Datsun 240Z (same bolt pattern but different bolt size)!!! thanks alot and i hope someone can help me out!!!

Are those wheels hub-centric to the Prelude hub ? That is probably the more important factor.

You can always get hub rings to correct the hubcentric problem. If it is 4x114.3 it will most likley fit ( you have to make sure the offset will clear everything, and look ok). The lug studs on nissan/datsun is 12x1.25 and honda is 12x1.5. Basically all that means is you have to use the honda size lug nuts.

What if the wheel's hub diameter is smaller than 64.1 mm ?? - That's the point I'm trying to make.

People bore them, but I could never trust that...

Looks like the 240 is 66.1 anyway. So you should be good with some hub centric rings. Might need extended studs though.. only a test fit will tell you that, or some measuring. Make sure you can get, I think, 9 full turns on the lug nut. If not, you should get longer studs.

You're getting the hub centric rings, right?

And why do you need spacers? They don't clear the calipers?
