Okay I want to get 17" rims on Neo Gen tires but I am confused on the PCD thing. I have a 4 lug nut pattern on my MX3 only thing matters is that I gotta get a 8 lug nut rim to fit the 4 nuts into the rim and bolt it on do I need to worry about the PCD and ET thing?

the PCD is the measurment from the centre of the holes where the studs go, and the offset is the thickness of the hub behind the wheel.

You want a PCD of 4x100, and an off set of 35-40

Same as a honda civic, mitsi colt and most other Jap hatchs

our offset is 45 I think.
Might be smart to get as close as possible

Your probably right there.

I have 7.5'' wide rims so i went with a pcd of 40, but if your ging for a 7'' wide rim stick with 45 if ya can get em
