that is lugcentric, honda have a smaller bore than Nissans.

Nissan hub bore is 60ish
honda is 50ish.

if you want a honda wheel to fit, take the rims to a shop and bore out the center

searchin will give you the hub bore size

that is the only way i can think of having it fit, the other way is spacers. by putting hubcentric spacers to your hub and slapping the rims on, that wil make it fit

how much you think it would cost? and if i bore it i can put it back on to the honda right?

its not worth it, thats what im trying to say. accord wheels are what 16x7 +45? why waste extra money to make those fit, when you can use that money, sell those wheels and save up for rims that are better both appearance wise and performance aspect wise.

if you bore it out say to 60mm and the hub of the car is 50mm. yes it will fit, but youll have to tighten the wheel carefully and make it centered, or you get hubcentric rims for about 15 bucks and it will fit back onto the accord no problem.

search about hubcentric rims

not sure about steelies, but im sure steelies dont need to be hubcentric. i have steelies from the flee market from previous owner that fit. i think steelies only need to be lugcentric. but when it comes to alloy rims then it does from the factory.

if you really want to fit accord rims onto your car and dont give a rats ass about width and offsets. buy spacers and make sure they are hubcentric to the car hub, you can have it hubcentric to the rim as well, but not really as important

wow ditch those and get stock se alloys, direct fit similar offset and size. plus it was made for our cars.

and i never knew honda was 4x114.3 i always thought they were 4x100

i got the se rims on but i was planning on selling them and just getting my friends rims, so if i get spacers they will just fit on.

i really dont know if this will help you but I had rims on an 99 accord sedan, and those same rims fit perfectly nice on my zenki. so, the offset s the same(if i am not mistaken, and I could be; the offset is the distance of the lugnut holes to the center of the rim) but then what you will have to change is the lugnuts cuz the accord are 1.5 and the s14's are 1.25 or backwards, but check that

offsets arent the same. that has nothing to do with wheel fitment from one car to another. i guess the hub bore on the accord rims are bigger hence why it fits.

if you really want to know, go on a honda board and ask them what is the hub bore for the accord you are using the rims from. i am going based on an assumption that all honda hub bores are about 50

earlier Accord hub bores are smaller than a 240s'. The late one's I'm not sure of 98+. My friend had a set of 93 Accord wheels on his coupe back in 95. We just took a drill and grinding stone and opened up the hub to fit. But be warned, you will be able to hide treasure in your wheel wells.

No. That's the bolt pattern, or PCD. 5x114.3 or 4x114.3. Nissan hub bore is 66.1mm, hondas are somewhere around 58mm. And the high offset will definitely be tight against the suspension.
But it's your car, do what you want with it. Just don't post pics, some of us have weak stomaches.
