James,
If the EXA an N12 or N13 model then the actual PCD (pitch circle diameter)
or stud pattern will be the same (114.3 or 4.5in) but obviously with a FWD
offset which is the distance the hub mounting face is from the center line
of the rim.
You can measure the offset by measuring the overall width of the rim (not
the stated width as that is just the portion the tyre sits on) then measure
from the hub face to the rear or the rim. Subtract half the first
measurement from the second and you have the offset.
However you probably won't be able to use the rims without big spacers
which isn't a good idea. I'm using FWD offset rims with S12 Sivia struts as
the stock rims on those are virtually FWD offset as the hub face is so far
from the strut leg. I'm using 205/55x15 tyres on the rear which only just
fit (just millimeters to spare) so the 205/45x16 which is one size diameter
up and one size profile down should fit okay as the rolling diameter will
likely be about the same. My 510 has 195/55x15 on the front so I haven't yet
tried the 205's for clearance. It also depends how low you car is.

> I need some advice regarding a set of rims I used to have on a Nissan Exa,
and would now like to put on my datto. The rims are 16 inch speedy
hyperfangs with 205/45 Falkens, and the offset (?) I was told is 4/100.
Would it be possible to fit them onto a Datsun 1600? I enquired at the local
Beaurepaires, but they didnt want to have anything to do with it because it
was illegal (can only legally fit wheels no more than two sizes larger than
factory). I tried to fit them myself, but the rim doesnt go on very far
because it hits the strut...probably require spacers, but last set of 205's
on the car sat out way to far at the front that the cops would have had a
field day if they'd pulled me over! Anyway, any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
