The Short Version
- The W10 Avenir is 4×114.3. The W10 Avenir Salut is 5×114.3. Same chassis code.
- The W11 is 5×114.3 on a 66 mm bore, uniformly — including the SR20DET GT4 grades.
- No W10 bore has ever been researched.
- The GT4 turbo does not get a special hub. Only a bigger wheel.
The Badge Decides the Hole Count
This is the sharpest version of a trap we have now documented several times, and it is the reason this article leads the batch.
The factory database keeps Avenir and Avenir Salut as two model pages. Both contain chassis code E-W10. Both list the same 5.5J×14 at +45. And they disagree:
| Page | Chassis | Grade | Wheel | PCD | Holes | Bore |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Avenir | E-W10 | 1.8 Type bi / Type si | 5.5J×14 +45 | 114.3 | 4 | Not researched |
| Avenir Salut | E-W10 | Salut Limited | 5.5J×14 +45 | 114.3 | 5 | Not researched |
This is not a single stray row on either side. It is the whole of both pages.
The practical consequence: on a first-generation Avenir, the chassis plate tells you nothing useful. You have to know whether the car is a Salut, and if you cannot tell, count the studs. It takes five seconds and it is the only reliable method.
Note also that this is 4×114.3 on the base car — four studs on a 114.3 mm circle, the awkward pattern that catches sellers who assume four holes means 100 mm. We keep a running list of these in our same-chassis-code reference.
Factory Specification
| Generation | Chassis | Grade | Wheel | Tyre | PCD / Holes / Bore |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| W10 Avenir | E-W10 | 1.8 Type bi / si, 2WD | 5.5J×14 +45 | 195/65R14 | 114.3 / 4 / not researched |
| W10 Salut | E-W10, E-PW10, E-PNW10 | Salut Limited, 2WD and 4WD | 5.5J×14 +45 | 195/65R14 | 114.3 / 5 / not researched |
| W10 Salut | E-PNW10 | Salut GT Turbo Limited (SR20DET, 4WD) | 6J×15 +45 | 195/60R15 | 114.3 / 5 / not researched |
| W11 | TA-RW11, TA-RNW11, UA-W11 | Salut Si, Salut X, Blaster | 5.5J×15 +40 | 185/65R15 | 114.3 / 5 / 66 |
| W11 | GF-PNW11 | GT4-Si / GT4-V / GT4-Z (SR20DET, 4WD) | 6J×15 +45, GT4-V 6J×16 | 205/55R16 (GT4-V) | 114.3 / 5 / 66 |
The GT4 Is Not a Different Car Underneath
The GT4 grades — SR20DET, four-wheel drive, the reason anybody imports an Avenir — sit on the same 5×114.3 / 66 mm as the ordinary W11 wagon. What they get is diameter and width: 6J×15 as standard and 6J×16 on the GT4-V, against 5.5J×15 on the base 2WD.
Same story on the first generation: the Salut GT Turbo Limited steps to 6J×15 from the base Salut’s 5.5J×14, with no change to the hub.
So base Avenir wheels fit a GT4. They will look underdone, but they fit — provided the car is a W11. On a W10 you are back to the four-versus-five question.
One Row We Do Not Trust
Worth flagging because we would rather show our working.
Across 57 W11 rows the bore reads 66 mm. One row — the GF-W11 1.8 Salut Z — reads 60 mm, on the same 6J×15 at +45 and the same 5×114.3 as its 2.0-litre namesakes.
It is possible the 1.8 genuinely uses a smaller hub. It is at least as likely to be a data-entry error in a single row out of fifty-eight. We cannot tell from the source, so we are reporting it rather than either suppressing it or promoting it to fact. If you have a 1.8 Salut Z, measure the hub before you buy.
Sizing
The W11’s +40 to +45 on a 5×114.3 / 66 mm hub puts it in the same wheel pool as almost every Nissan of its era — the Cefiro, the S14, the Stagea. Choice is not your problem.
On a W10 Salut you have the same pattern but no published bore, so buy a wheel with a generous bore and a hub ring rather than something machined tight to an assumed figure.
On a W10 base car, 4×114.3, your realistic sources are the B15 Sunny, the P11 Primera and the upper-grade Wingroad Y11.
Importing
The W10 launched in 1990 and is entirely eligible for US import. The W11 arrived in 1998 and is eligible now through 2030.
The Avenir was never sold in North America. The GT4 is the grade with no equivalent anywhere — an SR20DET estate with four-wheel drive, which is the specification a certain kind of buyer has been looking for their whole life.
What We Could Not Verify
- Hub bore for any W10 grade, base or Salut. Marked unresearched throughout.
- Whether the GF-W11 1.8 Salut Z really uses a 60 mm bore, or whether that single row is an error.
- Whether the 4-hole/5-hole split within E-W10 reflects a genuine mid-range hardware difference or a database convention for separating the two badges. Either way the two pages disagree, and that is what a buyer has to deal with.
