    Hey guys, I have a Nissan Lucino 2l the fitament size is 4x100 pcd, Im looking at theses alloys for it, it says multifit on the ad but I dont know what that means, does that mean theyll definalely fit my car, is there any other considerations I need to take into account? I know about the pitfalls of buying second hand alloys but moneys tight and the wheels I have on my car are an embarrasment at the moment :o

    Depends what car theyre coning off! If theyre coming off another Nissan or a renault they should fit. Offer them up to your hub to see before you pay for them. I know moneys tight but they look sh1t! save up and get a proper set. You can buy new wheels and tyres from €300 now! look on proparts.com

    If you know what car they are coming off, google it and check the pcd of it. If it's 4*100 then you're sorted. Mutli fitment means it fits two different sizes, but there are hundreds of sizes out there, so make sure to check.

    You'll need to check the center bore too..just cause theyre 4x100 pcd dont mean they'll still fit...you'd really need to try one to make sure they wont foul the body, shox , steering on full lock etc.;)

    Offset will be important also... that decides how far in/out the wheel sits in the arch.

    So you have to consider the following:

    Offset,
    pcd,
    centre hub diameter.

    Best option would be to fit then on your car as a trial really. I would go with new wheels & tyres myself. They seem to be available for the cost of a decent set of tyres. So next time you need 4 tyres, just buy the wheels too.

    Thanks lads. I ended up getting the wheels today, three good tyres on them and I got them for half nothing and they look lovely on the car.
