4x100 Bolt Pattern Wheels and Rims

About 4x100 Bolt Pattern Wheels and Rims

Four lug cars live here: old Civics, the first Miatas, the E30. The wheels are small and light, and for those cars that's the entire point.

The pattern is the first check and the easy one. Width and offset against your brakes and fenders are the real question. Want the wheel out at the arch? Flip on the aggressive option and we'll show you what still works.

Common questions

What vehicles use the 4x100 bolt pattern?

More than you'd guess, and the links under the grid go straight to each one. It's the old four lug small car pattern, so the diameters stay low and the wheels stay light. Anything drilled for it was built with a Civic or an early Miata in mind. The pattern can change between generations, so check the year before you buy a used set.

Do I need hub centric rings for 4x100 wheels?

Usually, yes. Aftermarket wheels are bored bigger than the hub so one wheel fits a lot of cars, and the ring fills that gap so the wheel sits on the hub instead of hanging on the lugs. Skip it and you'll chase a shake at highway speed. Order the rings with the set when the bore is bigger than your hub.

Will any 4x100 wheel fit your car?

No, and that's the part people learn the expensive way. Width and offset have to clear the caliper and the fender, and the bore has to match or take a ring. Tell us the car and you'll only see the sets that pass all of it.
