What wheel bolt pattern on Nissan. Wheel sizes for different modifications of a Nissan car

15.01.2021

One of the main parameters of rims is the number of mounting holes and their location relative to the wheel axis. The English term PCD, referred to in domestic autoslang as a bolt pattern, contains information about the number of studs or bolts, as well as the diameter of the circle in which their centers are inscribed.

For example, a typical size for VAZ cars would be referred to as PCD 4 X 98 .

5 basic disc sizes

The most popular bolt patterns:

4×100;
4×108;
5×100;
5×108;
5×112.

Although it is difficult to judge the actual prevalence of specific sizes, there are many others used on fairly well-known mass-produced cars.

Naturally, the disk parameters are not limited to the size of the bolt pattern.

There are other equally important ones:

diameter of the central hole;
width;
disk edge parameters and much more.

How to measure disk bolt pattern yourself

In fact, the need for measurement procedures rarely arises. The required parameter is easy to find out from the characteristics of a particular machine, and for any disc it is indicated on the product label.

But the designation of a used part could be destroyed, so you will have to determine the bolt pattern using a ruler.

The measurement should be as accurate as possible. It is very difficult, for example, to distinguish a 4x98 disc from a 4x100 disc. It often happens that VAZ cars drive with increased PCD disks, which is wrong and very dangerous.

Even if the wheel is centered more or less normally and does not hit on the move, the lack of a full fit of the chamfers of the mounting bolts to the disc sockets causes high stresses in the metal, wear of the holes, fatigue phenomena in the wheel bolts and a high probability of losing the wheel while driving.

There are two ways to measure - for an even number of studs and universal.

With an even number, it is enough to mark the centers of the holes with the greatest possible accuracy and determine the distance between these centers for diametrically opposed bolts.

You will have to use a caliper, a regular ruler will give too much error. For example, on a disk, you need to take the size between the edges of the holes, one from the inside, the other from the outside. Since the diameters of the bolt sockets are made with high accuracy, this will be the desired PCD.

Formula for calculation and compatibility tables

At odd number openings with one measurement will not work. In this case, it is necessary to measure the distance between the axes of two adjacent bolts, and then apply simple formulas for calculations.

Let's say the distance is equal to some number X. Then, depending on the number of bolts from 3 to 5, the following formulas are used:

3 bolts. PCD=1.155*X
4 bolts. PCD=1.414*X
5 bolts. PCD=1.701*X

The formulas are obtained as a result of simple geometric manipulations, everyone can personally check and get more accurate coefficients.

As an approximate reference, you can use the compatibility table of car models based on the same PCD.

As mentioned above, this cannot in any way mean complete interchangeability of disks, since all their other parameters rarely coincide.

It should be borne in mind that the wheels that were equipped with cars could vary greatly depending on the specific modification of the model and the ordered equipment.

To drive safely, you need to choose the right tires and wheels. Unfortunately, many motorists do not take this issue very seriously. But the operation of the suspension, the dynamics of the car and the comfort during the trip depend on the size of the wheel.

Nissan Almera

The car is a prototype of the Japanese BluBord. It was produced from the factory with 195/65/15 tires. For all the years of manufacture, the chassis has not undergone any changes, so wheels with such parameters are suitable for the latest modifications of Almera.

185/65/15 tires fit perfectly on the Nissan Almera G15. For a budget option, it is better to put other models. The most common are 205/55/16. However, when installing, you must consider the size of the disks.

It must be marked 7.0 JJ PCD 4X100 DIA 60.1. In this case, the minimum overhang should be in the range ETT 38 - ET 43. If the size is set too large, the wheel arch may be touched by the tread. When the reach is increased, the wheel sits deeper in the wheel arch.

Nissan X-Trail

Over the years, the car was produced with different equipment. In addition to the engine, the appearance and interior of the cabin, the dimensions of the wheels also changed. The car, produced in 2001-2006, was equipped with 215/65 R16 tires. Tires sat on discs with a bolt pattern of 5x114.3, with a central hole diameter of 66.1. Departure was 40.

For second-generation cars manufactured in 2007-2010, the manufacturer recommends installing tires:

The plant began producing the third generation of Nissan X-Trail cars in 2011. All subsequent lines of the car are equipped with the same wheels. Manufacturers recommend installing tires and wheels of the following sizes:

Nissan Teana

The car belongs to the business class. From the factory, it comes with 16-18-inch alloy wheels. Main parameters:

Razboltovka - 5x114.3,
Width - 6.5-8.0J,
Departure - ET 40-47,
The central diameter is 66.1.

All these dimensions are selected depending on the configuration of the machine. Standard:

215/60/R16,
215/55/R17,
235/45/R18.

Some drivers install R18 tires. For them, the parameters 225/45 R18 are considered ideal. Most suitable discs:

Razboltovka - 5x114.3,
Width - 6.5-7.5J,
Departure - ET 45-50,
The diameter of the central hole is 66.1.

Other generations of teanas are equipped with similar tires with the same discs.

Nissan Almera Classic

The production of the car began in 2006. All subsequent models were equipped with the same wheels. The only difference could be only the volume of the internal combustion engine. Today the car is equipped with a 1.6 B10 Sedan engine.

Nissan Almera Classic is a passenger car of the Japanese concern Nissan. The model was made between 2005 and 2013. In many ways, the Almera Classic is similar to its predecessors, the Nissan Almera.

Specifications, wheelbase dimensions, type of front and rear suspension are identical to Nissan Almera. Tires, discs in the original design are interchangeable with Nissan Almera.

Disc Specifications

stamped

Distributed on the territory of the CIS, the Russian Federation, including. They are installed on new car models, budget modifications. Popularity, increased demand due to the low cost of the rim.

In case of deformation, damage, bending of the sides, and this happens after falling into a pit, the disk can be rolled on a machine in a service station.

Due to the softness, elasticity, the material partially repays, softens the force of impact. Vibrations are less noticeable on the steering wheel.

Steel discs

More forces and power are expended on the rotation of the steel disk, which increases fuel consumption. Obviously, with occasional use of the machine, fuel consumption is not noticeable. On long distances, suburban highways "appetite" increases.

Flaws:

development, wear of mounting holes, especially with frequent dismantling of the disk, re-shoeing of the machine;
low resistance to aggressive media, moisture, corrosion.

Without preventive measures, in a few years the disc will rust, lose its aesthetic appearance, the paintwork will peel off.

They are made (poured out) by an alloy of aluminum and magnesium. Light-alloy rims are lighter than forged counterparts, which is positively reflected in the technical characteristics of the car, handling, fuel consumption.

Despite the strength of the design, it is at the same time flimsy. If there is already damage on the disk, then the process of destruction at the molecular level has begun. Cracks will not always be visible, often the initial stages are inside. The visual part is the final stage.

The cost is 20 - 25% higher than forged rims. An expensive purchase that not every car owner can afford.

Characteristics:

Cast: light weight, low pressure on thrust bearings, hub mechanism, transmission;
Stamped: durable, expensive;
Forged: durable, specific weight is less than analogues.

Forged wheels

Made from the same materials as stamped. The difference is in the technology used. In terms of structural strength, forged ones are superior to any other analogues.

The alignment of the sides is carried out by rolling on the machine in the service station. In emergency cases, on the way, the sides of the disk are leveled with a hammer, a sledgehammer.

Monthly check the wheel balance on the diagnostic stand in the service station. If deviations are found, restore the geometry of the structure;
At high, medium speeds, avoid getting into pits, potholes. The disk is deformed, the tightness is broken, the tire is damaged;
Watch the pressure, it should not differ from that recommended by the manufacturer. In case of deviation, pump up, contact the service station;
Observe the transition to summer, winter regimes. In summer, tire pressure is higher than normal, in winter it is lower by the same amount. The pressure parameters are indicated in the vehicle operating instructions;
Tighten the nuts on the rim with a torque wrench. Excessive tightening contributes to the breakage of the studs, weak - unscrewing. Which will lead to a collision on the road with an oncoming car.
Systematic polishing will get rid of scratches. Pre-clean the wheel of dirt, dry thoroughly, and then treat with a chemical. Wipe with a rag several times;
Store wheels upright, do not stack on top of each other. Clean, dry, wrap with cellophane. Some motorists practice to apply an aerosol to the surface before conservation.

The average service life of original discs is 150 - 170 thousand km. Subject to a moderate driving style, the replacement interval will increase by 10 - 15 thousand km. The resource of using tires is 65 - 75 thousand km.

What is the effect of installing oversized drives

The technical characteristics of the units and mechanisms of the machine depend on the size of tires, disks. The instruction manual indicates the recommended and allowable rim and tire sizes.

When using the machine as a vehicle, the "factory" rim sizes are sufficient. "Change shoes" car in non-standard wheel sizes when tuning, changing the standard characteristics, dynamic performance.

The list of characteristics that are changed by installing non-standard wheel sizes on a Nissan Almera Classic car:

Tread wear, handling;
Road grip;
Steering wheel responsiveness;
Aquaplaning;
Comfort, noise level;
Fuel consumption in the combined cycle.

Wheel markings, tires for Nissan Almera Classic

For example, R15 4×110.0 6.0J ET37 (see photo):

PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter) diameter of the circumference of the center of the mounting holes: 68 mm;
Disk Radius: 15
Number of holes 4;
Fastener type: M11.0 - stud diameter;
Thread size (pitch): 1.25;
Center hole diameter: 36mm;
Pressure (front / rear): 1.9 / 1.9 bar.

TUV is the abbreviation of the regulatory body for compliance with quality standards. Maximum wheel load: the unit of measurement depends on the country of the manufacturer of the rubber, rim.

Before buying a disc, be sure to consult with experts, check compatibility with your car model. The parameters of the original dimensions are indicated in the instruction manual.

After installing the discs, tires on the car, turn the steering wheel to the sides one by one, eliminate the friction of the tire on the wheel arch.

The Japanese concern Nissan, no doubt, is familiar to every car enthusiast, since it was founded in 1933, and the brand came to Russia even before perestroika. So, until 2019, the plant produced dozens of different models of passenger cars and commercial vehicles with periodic restyling, starting with the compact Micra and ending with the huge Patrol. But the well-known brand Nissan X-Trail is in special demand among Russian motorists - a compact SUV, which, starting in 2001, appeared before consumers in the third generation, and in 2017 the model underwent the last restyling.

The wheelbase of the X-Trail remained practically unchanged throughout the entire production of the brand, and the dimensions of the wheels, with minor adjustments, remained the same as those placed on the hubs in the basic equipment 18 years ago. So, the changes affected only the radiality, width and reach within a few millimeters due to the rise in ground clearance and the increase in the wheel arches of the body, in particular:

Rims on a 2000 X-Trail

A single bolt pattern for the Nissan X Trail makes it possible to ensure that the wheel for this model is compatible with any design, regardless of the year of manufacture, and it is 5 × 114, that is, the disk is mounted on 5 reinforced studs, the holes for which are located on a circle with a diameter of 114.3 mm. In this case, the diameter of the central hole is 66.1 mm, and together these indicators fully satisfy the technical characteristics of an urban crossover with little off-road qualities.
The radiality of the discs, in accordance with the stylistic trends for all world-famous cars, is constantly growing, and if in 2001 vehicles with a diameter of R16-R17 wheels rolled off the assembly line, the latest modification of the model led to an increase in the parameter to the R17-R19 range, which increased both off-road qualities and dynamic characteristics of the car.
As for the width of the rim, this dimension remained practically unchanged due to the fact that the overall dimensions of the car remained practically unchanged, despite significant shape adjustments. Thus, if the first angular modifications of the X-Trail had wheels with a width of 6.5J-7J, then the engineers developing the restyled model left a single 7J rim size.
Since the wheel width is installed on this Nissan without changes, the offset, or ET parameter, also varies only within 0.5 cm - from 40 to 45 mm, and does not affect the exterior of the car in any way.

As well as other world-famous car brands, the creators of Nissan are trying to unify the brand as much as possible, providing their models with similar wheel hubs, suspensions and tie rods, changing them only when the load is actually adjusted during operation, which depends on the model class.

Features of rims for Nissan Wingroad

On a note.

Among the residents of the Far East, the Nissan Wingroad has long been gaining popularity, which is a compact station wagon, which is produced exclusively for the needs of the Japanese domestic market. So, it is precisely because of such a narrow geography of sales that such large cities in the eastern part of Russia as Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Magadan, Vladivostok or Khabarovsk are literally crammed with right-hand drive "Japanese", including the model in question.

It is also noteworthy that "Wingroad" is one of the few products of the famous concern, the wheelbase of which has undergone changes in all respects, in particular:

If we talk about the bolt pattern, then the first generation of this car (1996-1999) was produced with discs on 4 studs with a distance between the holes of 100 mm, and the DIA indicator was exactly 60 mm. Since 2000, an updated version has appeared, and the first modifications with disks mounted on 5 studs with a diameter of the circumference of the mounting holes of 114.3 mm began to roll off the assembly line, and the central hole increased to 66 mm, and the wheel began to withstand large bending moments . The latest model of the concern, produced from 2005 to 2018, had an initial wheel bolt pattern of 4 × 100, and the engineers returned to the previous DIA dimension with minor adjustments - up to 60.1 mm.
The dimension also changed, but, unlike the number of fasteners, it steadily grew, and if for the 1st generation it was in the range R13-R14, which indicated the compactness of the model, then from the first restyling the parameter changed to R14-R16, and the car rose somewhat in class.
The size of the wheel rim also changed over the years, which over time was adjusted from 5J-5.5J to 5J-6JJ, which indicates a change not only in the dimension, but also in the shape of the rim edge to fix the tire.
As for the last characteristic of the ET, the model's engineers never set themselves an improvement in the exterior of this conservative vehicle, so the offset was always 40-42 mm, and the wheel looks exactly the same under the wheel arch, despite the generation of the brand.

Pathfinder bolt pattern

This practical car for Russian roads was replaced by an analogue more adapted to the harsh climate - Nissan Tiida, which has almost the same dimensions of rims and is in demand among Russian drivers. At the same time, the Nissan Tiida bolt pattern is quite universal for the Russian market.

Wheel compatibility chart for the most popular Nissan models

Fans of the Nissan brand often do not even realize that they can put on many models original rims from other modifications of the Japanese concern's cars, since the wheels have a certain compatibility, which is displayed on all parameters of the chassis and other systems, namely:

Nissan model	Disc diameter, inches	Rim width, inches	Departure, ET indicator, mm	Bolt pattern, pcs. x mm	Parameter DIA, mm
Almera (N17, facelift, 2015...2019)	15	6J	50	4×100	60,1

Wheels on Patrol

The data given in this table is valid for models currently in production. If one or another modification has already been discontinued, then the figures are given specifically for the latest version of the vehicle produced at the concern's factories, such as the Qashqai bolt pattern.

Among the extensive model range of Nissan, in addition to the models listed above, there are several dozen more modifications, but, unfortunately, not every one of them is supplied to the Russian market. This is due to the fact that due to technological, marketing, geographical and other factors, many representatives of the brand may not be in demand in the domestic market. In addition, according to the results of market research by individual specialists of the enterprise, many models will be extremely difficult to operate and repair, because, for example, a specific wheel bolt pattern is not used in the Russian market.

Features of rims for Nissan Micra and Pathfinder

In contrast to those models that can be extremely rarely found on the roads of Russia, there are brands that, due to their successful design, technical features adapted for operation in a rather harsh climate, and, finally, under the influence of good advertising or pricing policy, are especially in demand.

Wheels for Teana

Thus, the most popular modifications of Nissan vehicles among the population deserve a separate, more detailed description, and these models include two prominent representatives of the concern - Micra and Pathfinder, designed for different applications and categories of drivers, but at the same time fully meeting the needs of the market. As for the wheels, they have the following distinctive features:

Nissan Micra is the most compact representative of the concern's lineup, used, as a rule, for individual movement on smooth asphalt in urban conditions, and the main advantage of this car is not in dynamics or driving performance, but in small size and fuel economy.

"Micra" is a fairly popular model that has been familiar to consumers since 1982, for almost 36 years, and during this period the plant produced 5 generations of this car with a dozen restylings, and the last change was made quite recently - in 2017.

On a note.

The bolt pattern of the discs has not changed in any way over the entire period of operation of the model and is 4 × 100, which is quite consistent with any Lada model and many other compact cars of domestic or foreign manufacturers. At the same time, the diameter of the central hole changed by only 1 mm, which is only due to the clarification of standards, and if in 1983 it was fashionable to purchase a car with this indicator of 59.1 mm, today it is actively distributed with a size of 60.1 mm.

As for the size of the wheels, it grew with each new model, and if the first models were equipped with tiny "tablets" R12 and R13, then now Micra rolls off the assembly line with spectacular alloy wheels that have dimensions R15-R17.

The width of the discs and their offset also changed with the increase in body dimensions and the change in generation from 4.5J in the 80s. up to 6J-6.5J at the present time, while the ET indicator is ET45-50 mm, which is almost imperceptible against the background of the general exterior of the car.

Juke bolt pattern

Nissan Pathfinder - one of the few models of full-size SUVs, which is a transitional form between a crossover and a large SUV, has been familiar to consumers in the same way as the Micra since the distant 80s of the last century.

The purpose of the car has changed over the years, and if at the very dawn of production it was considered by drivers, first of all, as an SUV, then by 2017 it became a full member of the city traffic.

This means that the first Pathfinder models had 5 × 114.3 bolt pattern rims, and the DIA was 66.1 mm, which was quite consistent with the performance of cars such as the Mitsubishi Pajero. At the same time, the most popular Pathfinder III, produced from 2005 to 2014, had even more impressive performance - 6 × 139.7 with a center diameter of 100 mm. However, after a major restyling in 2015, Japanese engineers clearly separated the Pathfinder from the Patrol, and the crossovers began to have a standard bolt pattern for their class of 5 × 114.3, and the bore diameter is 66.1 mm, as well as the Nissan Qashqai bolt pattern.

Other indicators changed in accordance with the evolution of the automotive industry, and the diameter of the disks on the first cars was R15-R16 with high-profile rubber that provided grip on the ground both on the sole and on the side of the wheel. As for modern models, they have a beautiful performance of alloy wheels, combined with the general style of the exterior, and radial R18, R20.

Discs for Primera

The width and offset of the discs have not changed so dramatically, today they range from 7J to 8J with an offset (ET) of 50 mm, that is, the wheels are deep under the arches. However, 30 years ago, off-road vehicles could have this indicator of 10 mm, and the edge of the tire profile was almost at the level of the body wing, which provided increased stability of the car, but at the same time somewhat spoiled the appearance, and also contributed to the early pollution of the sidewalls of the vehicle.

For the cars listed above, experts advise purchasing only original rims, since their compatibility with the hubs in this case will be ideal. If the driver is not satisfied with the design or pricing policy, the concern has a number of acceptable recommendations for partner independent enterprises producing car accessories, which helps brand owners to navigate among the huge range and not lose the dealer's warranty.

The wheel bolt pattern for Nissan X-Trail allows motorists to ensure full compatibility of the hubs for this car with any other competing brand from a global manufacturer, even in emergency situations, an urgent replacement can be done as soon as possible and with ease for the driver. This indicator is dominant, given that the crossover can be operated in difficult road conditions, and the bolt pattern of the Nissan Qashqai or Beetle wheels is quite suitable for replacing disks with an Ixtrail. The same situation is observed when determining the compatibility of other uniform models of the concern from different generations, for example, "Sunny" and "Note".
