Key Specifications:
- Bolt Pattern (4x100/108): The 4x100 and 4x108 bolt patterns are common on many compact cars, sedans, and some small SUVs. These two patterns are typically used by a range of European, Japanese, and American manufacturers.
- Wheel Size (16x7): The 16-inch diameter and 7-inch width are a balanced size, providing a good combination of comfort and performance for daily driving and light sport use.
- Offset (ET 15mm): The ET 15mm offset means the wheel is slightly pushed outward from the vehicle's hub. This provides a slightly wider stance, improving the car's appearance and handling, though it may require some modifications to ensure the wheels don't rub on the fenders or suspension components.
- Center Bore (CB 73.1): The 73.1mm center bore is a common size for many vehicles. However, if your vehicle has a different center bore, you can use hub rings to ensure a secure fit.
Compatible Vehicles:
This wheel is compatible with vehicles that have either 4x100 or 4x108 bolt patterns, typically found on compact cars and small sedans. Below are some common vehicles that use these bolt patterns:
Vehicles with 4x100 Bolt Pattern:
- Honda Civic (many models from the 1990s to present, including sedan, coupe, and hatchback)
- Toyota Corolla (many models from the 1990s to present, including sedan and hatchback)
- Mazda3 (many models from the 2000s to present)
- Volkswagen Golf (especially Mk4 and Mk5)
- Volkswagen Jetta (especially Mk4 and Mk5)
- Hyundai Elantra (many models from the 2000s to present)
- Kia Soul (some 2010s models)
- Mini Cooper (early 2000s to present models)
- Ford Fiesta (older models)
- Chevrolet Aveo (various models)
Vehicles with 4x108 Bolt Pattern:
- Ford Focus (many models from the 1990s to present)
- Mazda 3 (earlier models before the switch to 4x100)
- Peugeot 206, 207 (various models)
- Citroen C3, C4 (various models)
- Ford Fiesta (some older models, before the shift to 4x100)
- Volvo C30 (some models)
Other Considerations:
-
Offset (ET 15mm): The ET 15mm offset will push the wheels slightly outward compared to a standard setup, creating a wider stance. This can enhance handling and the vehicle's appearance. However, if your vehicle has a low body or tight wheel arches, it may require minor adjustments such as fender rolling or suspension modification to avoid rubbing.
-
Brake Clearance: Ensure that the wheels have sufficient space for your vehicle's brake components, especially if your vehicle has upgraded brakes or larger rotors.
-
Center Bore (CB 73.1): The 73.1mm center bore is a common size, but if your vehicle uses a different size, hub rings can be used to adapt the wheels securely to your vehicle.
-
Tire Fitment: The 16x7 wheel size typically works well with tires in the range of 195/50R16 to 205/50R16, depending on your vehicle's specifications and driving needs.
