Cause I'm looking at rims for my Accord which has 4X114.3 rims stock. But I'm seeing alot of auctions saying that 4X100 will fit on Accords too. I'm wondering what does the 114.3 stand for... rim width?

the distance between the center(right?) of the stud,


*100*
1 hud 1
0 hud0
0 hud0
*100*

100 is common for compact car like civic, miata, etc

114.3 is for bigger car like prelude, accord, altima

the X4 in 114.3 x4 is the number of stud

there's a good diagram showing how 4,5,6 studs measurement on the summit racing catalog

 

it's the distance between each stud.

Close, it's the distance between each stud center.
Simply put, it's the diameter in which the center of the stud sits on.

 

i thought accords were 4 X 100.

 

up to a point...from 1990-up they are 4x114.3mm. as are the preludes (except the Si DOHC VTEC, which got the 5-lug)

92-96 ludes are all 4x114.3, 97+ ludes are 5x114.3

 

it's the distance between the centers of opposite studs, that is to say you measure that distance diagonally. same deal with any car, you measure diagonally. and if you don't know the conversion, the 114.3 is in mm, and there are 25.4 mm/inch, so 4.5 inches.

 

Forget everything i said, this is the right way, it's from summitracing's catalog, which i mentioned before.



edit: i'll get the picture/link right tonight, imagestation.com is lagging like there's no tomrrow

 

not all 90+ accords are 4x114.3, some are 5x114.3 (v6 models, and some 4 bangers) 89 and down are 4x100. and 4x100 wheels will only fit 4x100 bolt patterns, ud be buying a lot of worthless metal for your accord if you buy 4x100 wheels.

 

4th gen, 5th gen(4&6 cylinder) and 6th gen (4cylinder) are 114.3x4

6th gen v6 and all 7gen are 5x114.3

 

here the right sized diagram

 

ok cool, thanks guys.
