The Short Version
- B13 is 4×100 on a 60 mm bore. Every grade.
- B14 is both. Base grades are 4×100 / 60 mm. Upper grades are 4×114.3 / 66 mm — and the two live under the same chassis codes.
- B15 is 4×114.3 on a 66 mm bore. Every grade, including the VZ-R.
- All three are four-lug. The hole count never changes. The bolt circle does.
The Trap Is Inside One Generation
Most bolt-pattern changes happen at a model change. You look up the year, you get your answer. The B14 Sunny does not work that way.
We read the Japanese factory wheel database across the whole Sunny run. Of the B14 rows, 134 are 4×100 with a 60 mm bore and 51 are 4×114.3 with a 66 mm bore. Both patterns were sold at the same time, in the same showroom, on cars badged the same.
Worse, the chassis code does not settle it either. KD-SB14 appears on both sides of the split:
| Chassis | Grade | Wheel | PCD / Holes / Bore |
|---|---|---|---|
| KD-SB14 | 2WD 2.0D EX Saloon Limited | — | 100 / 4 / 60 |
| KD-SB14 | 2WD 2.0D Super Saloon Limited | 5.5J×14 +45 | 114.3 / 4 / 66 |
If you are buying wheels for a B14 and you have identified the chassis code, you have not yet identified the bolt pattern. You need the grade.
Which B14 Grades Are 114.3
Every 114.3 row we found runs 5.5J×14 at +45. The grades are:
- 1.6 Super Touring (E-EB14), including Type S
- 1.8 Super Touring (E-HB14)
- 2.0 diesel Super Saloon (KD-SB14), including Limited and Sbrend
- 2.0 diesel 4WD ATTESA grades (KD-SNB14) — FE, EX Saloon and Super Saloon
- 1.5 4WD Super Saloon Type S (E-FNB14)
Everything else — the 1.3 and 1.5 FE, EX Saloon and Super Saloon cars — is 4×100 on a 60 mm bore, on 5J×13 or 5.5J×14 at +35 to +45.
Note that Super Touring is always 114.3 and Super Saloon usually is not, except on the diesel and the 4WD. The naming gives you no reliable signal. Measure or check the grade.
Generation by Generation
| Generation | Period | PCD | Holes | Bore | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| B13 | 1990–1994 | 100 | 4 | 60 mm | No 114.3 grade found anywhere |
| B14 | 1994–1998 | 100 and 114.3 | 4 | 60 and 66 mm | Split by grade, not by year or chassis |
| B15 | 1998–2004 | 114.3 | 4 | 66 mm | Fully unified, no exceptions |
So the changeover took a full generation to complete. Nissan introduced 4×114.3 partway up the B14 range and had moved the entire car onto it by the B15.
The VZ-R Is Not Special
A common assumption is that the VZ-R, with the 1.6-litre SR16VE and its 175 PS, must run something different. It does not. The JB15 VZ-R sits on the same 4×114.3 / 66 mm as every other B15, and gets its distinction from a bigger wheel — 6J×15 at +45 against the base car’s 5J×14 at +35.
That is good news if you own one. Any B15 wheel fits, and the aftermarket 4×114.3 world is far larger than the 4×100 one.
We could not find a separately listed VZ-R N1 grade in the database, so we cannot tell you whether the homologation car differs.
What This Means for Buying
- B13 owners: you are on 4×100 with a 60 mm bore. That is shared with a lot of small Nissans, so wheels are easy to find, but check the bore — 4×100 wheels are frequently made for 54.1 mm Toyota hubs or 56.1 mm Honda hubs and will not sit hub-centric on yours.
- B14 owners: identify the grade before you spend money. This is the one generation where a seller saying “fits a Sunny B14” tells you nothing.
- B15 owners: 4×114.3 / 66 mm, no thinking required.
- Sellers: if you are listing wheels off a B14, list the grade, not just the chassis code. We would rather see a slower, correct listing.
A Conflict We Did Not Resolve
English-language fitment references commonly give the B13 — sold in the United States as the Sentra — a hub bore of 66.1 mm. The Japanese factory database says 60 mm.
We are reporting both rather than picking a winner. It is possible the US-market car genuinely differs, and it is equally possible 66.1 is one of those default figures that propagates across aggregator sites without anyone measuring. If you have a B13 in front of you, measure the hub and you will know more than either of us.
On roughly half the B13 rows, incidentally, the bore cell is blank — the database’s way of saying nobody researched it. We wrote about that marker in our hub bore reference.
What We Could Not Verify
- The VZ-R N1, which does not appear as its own grade.
- Hub bore on the 49 B13 rows and 2 B14 rows where the database cell is blank.
- Whether the US-market Sentra genuinely uses a different bore from the JDM Sunny, as above.
- Sunny NX Coupe and Sunny California, which we did not open.
