Fitment Guide
Three numbers decide if a wheel bolts on and how it sits on your car. Learn what each one means, then check your car.
Fitment 101
Three Numbers That Matter
Get these right and the wheel bolts on, clears the suspension and sits where you want it. Size and finish are the fun part.
-
01 / Bolt pattern
5X114.3
Lugs x circle, mm
How many lug studs your hub has and the circle they sit on. It has to match exactly.
How it works -
02 / Offset
+35
mm
How far the mounting face sits from the center of the wheel. It decides how far in or out the wheel sits.
How it works -
03 / Center bore
73.1
mm
The hole in the middle of the wheel. A hub ring fills the gap to your hub.
How it works
Example 5X114.3
- 4 lugStreet
- 5 lugStreet
- 6 lugOff-road
01 / Bolt pattern
Has to Match Exactly
A bolt pattern is two numbers. The first is how many lug studs your hub has. The second is the size, in millimeters, of the circle that runs through the center of every stud.
- 5
- Lug studsCount the studs on your hub.
- 114.3
- Lug circle, mmThe circle the studs sit on (PCD).
There is no “close enough”
5X114.3 and 5X112 look almost the same, but the wheel will not bolt on. If the pattern on the wheel does not match your car, it does not fit.

02 / Offset
Where the Wheel Sits
Offset is the distance, in millimeters, from the center of the wheel to the face that bolts to your hub. It decides how far in or out the wheel sits in the fender.
- +45
- Higher offsetThe face sits toward the street side, so the wheel tucks in.
- +22
- Lower offsetThe face sits toward the car, so the wheel pushes out toward the fender.
Every Kansei listing shows its offset in the spec strip, right under the size.
On the car
Same Wheel, Three Offsets
Same car, same wheel. Only the offset changes.
-
+45 Tucked
Sits inside the fender line. Easiest to live with.
-
+35 Flush
Lines up with the fender. The look most people want.
-
+22 Pokes out
Past the fender. Often needs mods to clear.
Example car. Check your car below to see which offsets fit yours.
Width moves it too
Wider Wheels Grow Both Ways
Every extra half inch of width adds about 6 mm on each side of the wheel. Offset decides how that extra width splits between the fender side and the suspension side.

Slide to See Where It Sits

At the fender
This compares the new wheels with yours. Whether they clear depends on your car: see what Check Fitment says below.
Example: 1997 240SX on a Kansei wheel
03 / Center bore
Centered on the Hub
The center bore is the hole in the middle of the wheel that slides over your hub. Kansei wheels use a large bore so one wheel fits a lot of cars. A hub ring fills the gap between the wheel and your hub.
- 73.1
- Outside of the ring. Matches the wheel.
- 66.1
- Inside of the ring. Matches your car.
Why it matters
The lug nuts hold the wheel on. The hub ring centers it while you torque them down, which helps stop vibration at speed.

Our Fitment Check Plays It Safe
Check Fitment only shows sizes that clear a stock car with no changes, and plenty of those already sit flush or aggressive. Want to go wider or lower than that? A few common mods open up a lot more sizes.

What Check Fitment Shows
Mount, torque and drive. On some cars this already looks aggressive.
- No mods needed

Light mods
A Little Work, More Sizes
A weekend in the garage opens up wider wheels and lower offsets.
- Roll the fender lip
- Add a little negative camber
- Pick the right tire size
-
Bigger mods
Go as Far as You Want
Plan it with your shop before you buy.
- Pull or flare the fenders
- Adjustable camber arms
- Coilovers set up for the fitment
- A narrower or stretched tire
What those mods look like
Common Mods, Explained
-
Fender Roll
The fender lip is folded flat so the tire clears it.
-
Negative Camber
Tilting the top of the wheel in tucks the tire under.
-
Tire Stretch
A narrower tire on a wide wheel pulls the sidewall in.
-
Fender FlaresBigger
Pulled fenders or a wide body move the fender out.
