Hello all,
My daughter has a 2004 Nissan Almera Tino which has very badly rusted wheels. It came from Arbroath so it is not surprising! I want to swap the wheels out for some not so badly rusted ones but I'm a bit confused about offset.
Her car has 195/65R15 6Jx15 ET40 5x114.3
Nissan Almera (far more common in scrapyards) has 195/65R15 6Jx15 ET35 5x114.3
So the only difference is in offset. 40 vs 35. I have hunted on the net for days trying to get an answer to this but can't find anything definitive. Will wheels from the more common Almera fit the Tino version? Does such a small difference in offset matter? Or is it a small difference?
I have already had the brake discs and pads changed and now the calipers have to be done. And yeah I know this is going to cost more than the car is worth but if it gets her through another year and more importantly keeps her safe I don't care about the cost!
