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 Datsun mi-DO runs a 4x98 bolt pattern, 58.6mm center bore, and a 14x5.5J, front and rear, wheel from the factory. Our Flush Fitment reference is 15x6.5J ET30, which tucks the tire under the fender lip on a stock-height Datsun mi-DO. Our Maximum Aggressive reference is 16x7.0J ET28 — beyond that offset, expect rubbing against the inner fender liner under compression without further trimming.
Datsun mi-DO OE Wheel Specs
The 2015 Datsun mi-DO (Hatchback) uses a 4x98 bolt pattern with a 58.6mm center bore. Factory wheels are 14x5.5J 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 Datsun mi-DO (2015) we drill the 4x98 pattern and cut the centre bore to 58.6mm 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.

Flush Fitment
For a flush look with minimal rubbing, F/R 15x6.5J ET30 is the recommended starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Datsun mi-DO.
Maximum Aggressive Fitment
F/R 16x7.0J ET28 is a more aggressive reference setup. Beyond this, expect rubbing under compression without fender rolling or camber correction.

Case 2: Balanced Enthusiast (Balanced / Flush Fit)
Profile: Wants a sportier stance without sacrificing daily usability.
Setup: 15x6.5J ET30
Cost: ~$3,000
Outcome: Noticeable visual upgrade, fuel economy drop within the expected range.
Case 3: Show Build (Max Aggressive)
Profile: Built primarily for shows or occasional track/show use.
Setup: 16x7.0J ET28
Cost: ~$5,500

Decision Guide
1
What's your primary use? Daily commuting → Tier A/B. Weekend street driving → Tier B/C. Show or occasional track use → Tier D/E.
2
What's your budget? Under $800 → Tier A. $800-3,400 → Tier B/C. $3,400+ → Tier D/E.
3
How much does fuel economy matter? Very important → Tier A. Somewhat important → Tier B/C. Not a priority → Tier D/E.
4
Still unsure? Tier C (Balanced / Flush Fit) is the default choice for most Datsun mi-DO owners.
Offset & Backspacing Reference
Backspacing is calculated as wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance):
- OE: 14x5.5J ET35 → ~4.63″ backspacing
- Flush: 15x6.5J ET30 → ~4.93″ backspacing
- Max: 16x7.0J ET28 → ~5.1″ 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 Datsun spec, or want a wheel built to a custom offset for your Datsun mi-DO? Contact ANKUSI with your bolt pattern and offset target and we will confirm the correct forged wheel spec for your build.
Custom Forged Wheels for the Datsun mi-DO (2015)
Everything above is reference data. If you want wheels actually built to it, that is what ANKUSI does: we are a forged wheel factory in Guangzhou, China, IATF 16949 and ISO 9001 certified, forging on our own 10,000-ton press and producing over 120,000 wheels a year. Forging blank, CNC machining, finishing, coating and inspection all happen in the same building — nothing is subcontracted and nothing is relabelled from another manufacturer.
Every set is cut to order, so the 4x98 pattern and the 58.6mm centre bore are machined for this car specifically rather than shimmed with adaptor rings. Diameter, width, offset, concavity, monoblock or multi-piece construction and the finish are all yours to choose — most Datsun orders on this platform land somewhere between the 15x6.5J ET30 flush setup and the 16x7.0J ET28 aggressive setup referenced above.

What bolt pattern (PCD) does the Datsun mi-DO use?
The 2015 Datsun mi-DO uses a 4x98 bolt pattern.
How many lug bolts does the Datsun mi-DO use?
The Datsun mi-DO uses a 4-lug bolt pattern (4x98), so you need a 4-lug forged wheel to bolt straight on.
What is the center bore size on the Datsun mi-DO?
The Datsun mi-DO's center bore is 58.6mm. 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 Datsun mi-DO?
Factory wheels on the Datsun mi-DO are 14x5.5J F/R.
What is the biggest wheel size I can fit on my Datsun mi-DO without rubbing?
The most aggressive fitment we recommend without fender work is 16x7.0J at ET28 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 Datsun mi-DO?
For a flush look with minimal to no rubbing, we recommend 15x6.5J at ET30 offset as a starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Datsun mi-DO.
Do I need wheel spacers for my Datsun mi-DO?
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 Datsun mi-DO?
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 4.93" 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 Datsun mi-DO?
The Datsun mi-DO 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.
