Fitting wheels on a Mazda 323

A Mazda 323 (1977–1980) uses a 4x114.3 PCD and a centre bore of 59.6 mm. Any wheel must match the vehicle's PCD exactly: there is no tolerance, unless you use a PCD adapter.

  • PCD: 4x114.3 required. See all vehicles with 4x114.3.
  • Centre bore: the wheel must have a centre bore of 59.6 mm or more. If it is larger (as with most aftermarket wheels), add a hub centric ring wheel centre bore → 59.6 mm.
  • Offset: the original is ET45. Compare your future wheel with the offset calculator (your vehicle is already selected) to see how many millimetres further in or out it will sit.
  • Fixings: thread Ecrous - 12x1.50, tightened to 100 Nm. The nuts or bolts must have the same seat (conical, spherical or flat) as the wheel.
  • Tyres: original fitment is 155/80R13. For another size, check the diameter difference with the equivalence calculator (under 3 % recommended).

Frequently asked questions

What is the PCD of a Mazda 323?

A Mazda 323 (1977–1980) has a PCD of 4x114.3: 4 studs or bolts spaced around a circle 114.3 mm in diameter.

Does a Mazda 323 need a hub centric ring?

The centre bore (hub diameter) of a Mazda 323 is 59.6 mm. A wheel with a larger centre bore is fitted with a hub centric ring that brings it down to the hub diameter. A wheel with a smaller centre bore cannot be fitted.

What offset (ET) for a Mazda 323?

The recorded original offset is ET45. A lower ET pushes the wheel outwards, a higher ET pulls it inwards: check wheel well and caliper clearance before making any change.

What tightening torque for the wheels of a Mazda 323?

The specified tightening torque is 100 Nm for Ecrous - 12x1.50 fixings. Tighten in a criss-cross pattern with a torque wrench and check the tightness again after about fifty kilometres.

Which vehicles have the same PCD as a Mazda 323?

With the same PCD (4x114.3) and the same centre bore (59.6 mm), these include: Mazda 121, Mazda 626, Mazda RX-7, Mazda 929. Offset, width and rim diameter still need checking for each vehicle.
