How to Read Wheel Offset & Measurements
Use these two references before ordering: the left diagram shows where each spec (PCD, center bore, offset, width and diameter) is measured on the wheel; the right diagram shows how positive, zero and negative offset shift the wheel face relative to the hub centerline.
ANKUSI Engineering Expert Advice
Hot hatches and performance compacts are built around quick direction changes, so rotational mass at the wheel has an outsized effect on how the car actually feels to drive. Forging trims that mass while holding the same strength margin as the factory wheel, which is exactly the trade-off this kind of platform rewards.
The Daihatsu Charade runs a 4x100 bolt pattern, 54.1mm center bore, and a 13x4.5J, front and rear, wheel from the factory. Our Flush Fitment reference is 14x5.5J ET35, which tucks the tire under the fender lip on a stock-height Daihatsu Charade. Our Maximum Aggressive reference is 15x6.0J ET30 — beyond that offset, expect rubbing against the inner fender liner under compression without further trimming.
Daihatsu Charade OE Wheel Specs
The 1996 Daihatsu Charade (Hatchback) uses a 4x100 bolt pattern with a 54.1mm center bore. Factory wheels are 13x4.5J F/R.
Why the factory spec works for most owners:
- Keeps the factory ride quality and noise levels intact
- A common fitment for this class, so replacement tires are easy to source
- Preserves clearance around the OE brakes and suspension geometry
- Delivers predictable, easy-to-live-with handling for daily use
ANKUSI builds these wheels — we are the forging factory, not a reseller. For the Daihatsu Charade (1996) we drill the 4x100 pattern and cut the centre bore to 54.1mm on our own CNC line, so the wheel hub-centres on the car with no spacer rings, in whatever diameter, width and offset you specify.
Converting these ET figures to backspacing? Use the wheel offset and backspacing calculator.

Offset & Backspacing Reference
Backspacing is calculated as wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance):
- OE: 13x4.5J ET38 → ~4.25″ backspacing
- Flush: 14x5.5J ET35 → ~4.63″ backspacing
- Max: 15x6.0J ET30 → ~4.68″ backspacing
Want to check a different width or offset before you order? Use our Offset & Backspacing Calculator to solve the numbers yourself, or looking for your exact Daihatsu spec, or want a wheel built to a custom offset for your Daihatsu Charade? Contact ANKUSI with your bolt pattern and offset target and we will confirm the correct forged wheel spec for your build.
Daihatsu Charade: Specs by Model Year
| Year | Bolt pattern | Center bore | Factory wheel |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1996 | 4x100 | 54.1 mm | 13x4.5J |
| 2006 | 4x100 | 54.1 mm | 13x4.5J |
Bolt pattern and center bore stay the same across all 2 model years in our database (1996–2006).
Vehicles With the Same Hub as the Daihatsu Charade (4x100, 54.1 mm Bore)
In our database, 154 other vehicle entries from 23 makes use exactly the same 4x100 bolt pattern and 54.1 mm center bore. Factory wheels from these cars bolt on and center on the hub without rings; offset and width still have to be checked.
4x100 is used by 6.9% of the vehicle pages in our English fitment guide (451 of 6,503); 34.4% of those also use a 54.1 mm center bore.
Hub-Centric Rings for a 54.1 mm Center Bore
A wheel with a center bore larger than 54.1 mm needs a hub-centric ring. The most common combinations:
| Wheel bore | Ring size |
|---|---|
| 56.1 mm | 56.1 → 54.1 mm |
| 57.1 mm | 57.1 → 54.1 mm |
| 60.1 mm | 60.1 → 54.1 mm |
| 63.4 mm | 63.4 → 54.1 mm |
| 73.1 mm | 73.1 → 54.1 mm |
ANKUSI forged wheels are bored to exactly 54.1 mm for this vehicle, so no ring is needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What bolt pattern (PCD) does the Daihatsu Charade use?
The 1996 Daihatsu Charade uses a 4x100 bolt pattern.
How many lug bolts does the Daihatsu Charade use?
The Daihatsu Charade uses a 4-lug bolt pattern (4x100), so you need a 4-lug forged wheel to bolt straight on.
What is the center bore size on the Daihatsu Charade?
The Daihatsu Charade's center bore is 54.1mm. If an aftermarket wheel has a larger center bore than this, hub-centric rings are recommended so the wheel centers on the hub itself rather than relying on the lug bolts alone.
What size are the factory (stock) wheels on the Daihatsu Charade?
Factory wheels on the Daihatsu Charade are 13x4.5J F/R.
What is the biggest wheel size I can fit on my Daihatsu Charade without rubbing?
The most aggressive fitment we recommend without fender work is 15x6.0J at ET30 offset. Going beyond this typically causes rubbing under compression unless you roll the fenders or add camber correction.
What does a flush wheel fitment look like on the Daihatsu Charade?
For a flush look with minimal to no rubbing, we recommend 14x5.5J at ET35 offset as a starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Daihatsu Charade.
Do I need wheel spacers for my Daihatsu Charade?
No. ANKUSI forges each wheel to your exact target offset, including the flush or max specs above, so you get the correct fitment without stacking spacers. Spacers are typically only used to push out an existing OE-offset wheel without replacing it, which isn't necessary when you're ordering a custom-offset forged wheel.
How do I calculate wheel backspacing for my Daihatsu Charade?
Backspacing (in inches) = wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance). For example, the flush spec above works out to roughly 4.63" of backspacing.
What's the difference between wheel offset and backspacing?
Offset is the distance in millimeters from the wheel's true centerline to its mounting face (positive offset pulls the wheel in, negative pushes it out). Backspacing is the distance in inches from the mounting face to the back edge of the wheel barrel. They describe the same fitment from two different reference points, which is why ANKUSI lists both above — some shops and tuning guides quote offset, others quote backspacing.
Can I run staggered wheels (different sizes front and rear) on my Daihatsu Charade?
The Daihatsu Charade runs the same wheel size front and rear from the factory, so staggered fitment is not required. ANKUSI can still forge a staggered set (wider rear) on request if you want a more aggressive stance.
