Hi
Wonder if anyone can help me.
I have a 2001 mera N16 and have just bought some 17" alloys, tyres 205/45/17, PCD 4x114, offset 38mm.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7986083623&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWA:IT&rd=1
I could not find the wheel offset or PCD for this car, so I got this info off the following sites
Midland wheels
http://stores.ebay.co.uk/midlandwheels/FITMENT-GUIDE-M-P.html,
Rochford tyres
http://www.rochfordtyres.co.uk/Fitment.asp?psearch=Nissan
These alloy wheel sites, plus numerous others, give an offset of 35 to 42, so I thought these wheels would be fine.
However when I fitted them they seem to stick out to far from the body at the front (about 5 to 10mm) and are almost flush at the back.
So I have now scoured the owners manual (which I should have done earlier)from top to bottom and finally found a page 9-6, stating the offset as being 45mm which does not tie up with any of the sizes (35 to 42mm) I have found on the net.
Could someone clarify the offset for a 2001 mera and also if these wheels would be ok with an offset of 38mm, or would this damage the bearings or anything else.
Cheers
Carl
