Almera is 4x100 PCD with a centre bore of 59.0. Offset between 35 & 42. From http://www.carlsalter.com/wheel_fitments.html

Depends on the year. Up to 1999 it's 4x100, from 2000 onwards it's 4x114.3, according to that link.

Top tip if it's 4x114.3 and you have 15" wheels. Head over to The Nissan 200SX Owners Club and post in the wanted section asking for a set of 4 "Standard S13 Wheels". The people on that forum can't give the things away as nobody wants them* so someone local may well let you have them for free providing you come and collect.

As an aside, I have a set of multifit 16" 4x100 / 4x108 BK Racing alloy wheels that I need rid of (bought in error last year) if anyone in South East Wales fancies exchanging a few beer tokens for them.

*Most 200SX owners upgrade the brakes to Skyline or 300ZX brakes, these require 16" wheels, so people end up with the stock 15" wheels stuck in a shed somewhere. You need to ask for S13 (1988-1994) wheels as the S14 and S15 (1994-onwards) used 5 bolts, not 4.

So, of the people who are swapping tyres for the winter, what are you putting on? Dedicated specialist snow tyres, all season tyres or maybe something else?

My Goodyear Ultragrips will be back on in a week or so. M&S marked winter tyres

Look at the reviews, decide your budget and get them soon. The four I got in August are now £44 per corner dearer.

You might want to change from the wide low profile. Skinny tyres work better in rain, ice and snow.

Might change to skinnier ones...which size will i go to then?

I suggest you post on one of the scoobie forums.
