GarageCalc Where 4x100 is used
4x100 appears on 13 vehicles from 10 makes in this list: Honda accounts for 3, Toyota for 2 and Mazda for 1. The earliest fitment here is the BMW 3 Series E30 from 1982, and none of the listed models still use it, so this is a pattern you meet on used vehicles.
What else has to match
A matching bolt pattern is the first of four checks, not the last. The wheel's center bore has to match the hub, or be bridged with a hub-centric ring, so the hub carries the wheel instead of the studs. The offset decides whether the tire clears the suspension and stays inside the fender; run the numbers in the wheel offset calculator before buying. And the lug seats must match the wheel: conical, ball or flat seats are not interchangeable even when the thread is. None of those values are fixed by 4x100 itself, so check them per vehicle.
Frequently asked questions
What is 4x100 in inches?
4x100 is 4x3.94 in inches: 4 lugs on a 3.94 inch circle (100 mm divided by 25.4). It is the same pattern in different units, but this one is almost always written in millimeters; the inch figure only shows up in conversion charts.
What cars have a 4x100 bolt pattern?
Honda Civic (1988-2005), Mazda MX-5 Miata (1989-2005), Volkswagen Golf Mk2 / Mk3 (1983-1997), Toyota Yaris (1999-2019), Honda Fit / Jazz (2001-2020), Honda CR-X (1988-1991), Acura Integra (1986-2001), Mini Cooper (2002-2013), BMW 3 Series E30 (1982-1991), Toyota Corolla (1988-2002), Hyundai Accent, Kia Rio, and 1 more in the table on this page. Always confirm on your own vehicle: the pattern can change between generations, trims and markets.
Is 4x100 the same as 4x98?
No. 4x98 is 2 mm smaller in diameter. That is enough to seat every lug off-center, so the wheel is held by the lug hardware rather than by matching geometry and can work loose. Fit only wheels that are exactly 4x100, or hub-centric wheels with wobble bolts made for that specific mismatch.
