U.S. Factory wheel size: 15 x 6.

Factory wheel offset: 45mm

Lug spec: 12mm x 1.5

Bolt pattern: 4 x 114.3mm (4 x 4.5")

Tib's manufactured before Aug 98 have captive rotors.

9/98 thru 2001 Tib's have non-captive rotors. The little screws are put in during the manufacturing process and can be removed with no detrimental effects, if necessary.

Other production cars with the same bolt pattern:
90-94 Nissan 240
99-01 Hyundai Elantra

Max tire size:
215/40-17 with 1.5" lower ride height.

Anyone have info to add, post it up.

93 lude si
on the rear fit on my car with 3 washers (it was a temp cause i couldnt find a tib rim, and a friend didnt want me on the donut for a really long time, aka 4 hours LOL), 2 washers is ok, but to be safe, 3 works lol...

dont know if they work on front, havent tried yet... without washers the tire rubs on the front bar going to the center... (dont know name)

Translation:

My friend loaned me a 93 Predule Si wheel to use as a spare. I had to put some washers between the wheel and the hub to prevent rubbing on the suspension.

So my question is: what size washer...presumably 12 or 13mm but how THICK?
