Nissan March Bolt Pattern, Wheel & Tire Sizes
TL;DR
Both generations relevant to Latin America share a 4x100 bolt pattern; wheel size and tire size vary a lot by trim (14 to 16 inch), and centre bore should be confirmed on your own vehicle since sources do not agree consistently.
Which March this page covers
This page treats the Brazil/Latin American Nissan March as the primary vehicle. That March launched in Brazil in 2011, built at the Resende plant, and is based on the same K13 platform sold elsewhere as the Nissan Micra. Brazil never received the earlier K11 generation; a related earlier March (K12, 2002-2010) was sold in Mexico and other Latin American markets, so it is included for reference.
Bolt pattern and centre bore
Multiple independent wheel-fitment databases agree the bolt pattern is 4x100 (4 studs on a 100 mm circle) for both the K12 and K13 generations. Centre bore is only reliably documented for the K12 at 56.6 mm; for the K13 sold in Brazil, published figures were inconsistent or incomplete across the sources checked for this page, so no centre bore number is stated here for that generation. Stud thread size was likewise not confirmed with a reliable figure for either generation, so it is intentionally omitted rather than guessed.
Wheel and tire sizes
Factory wheel and tire sizes change by trim level and model year. On the K12, sources show 14-inch wheels with 165/70R14 tires or 15-inch wheels with 175/60R15 tires depending on engine/trim. On the Brazilian K13, trims have used 14, 15 or 16-inch wheels, with tire sizes reported as 175/65R14, 185/60R15 and 185/55R16 across the model's production run.
Where to confirm your exact car
- The driver's door jamb placard (sticker on the door frame) lists the factory tire size and sometimes rim size for your specific unit.
- Your owner's manual lists approved wheel and tire combinations by trim.
- The sidewall of your current tires shows the size actually fitted.
- A tire shop can measure bolt pattern, centre bore and stud thread directly off the hub in a few minutes if you plan to buy aftermarket wheels.
| Generation / years | Bolt pattern | Centre bore | Stud thread | Stock wheel sizes | Common tire sizes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| K12 (2002-2010, sold as March in Mexico) | 4x100 | 56.6 mm | Not confirmed - check hub | 14 or 15 inch | 165/70R14, 175/60R15 |
| K13 (2011-2020, Brazil-built, primary Latin American March) | 4x100 | Not consistently confirmed - check hub or placard | Not confirmed - check hub | 14, 15 or 16 inch depending on trim | 175/65R14, 185/60R15, 185/55R16 |

Frequently asked questions
What bolt pattern does the Nissan March use?
Independent wheel-fitment sources agree on a 4x100 bolt pattern (4 lug holes on a 100 mm diameter circle) for both the K12 (2002-2010) and the Brazilian K13 (2011-2020) generations, so aftermarket wheels rated for 4x100 should fit either car's hub pattern.
What is the centre bore on the Nissan March?
The K12 generation is documented at 56.6 mm centre bore. For the K13 sold in Brazil, published figures were not consistent enough to state a reliable number here, so measure the hub directly or ask a wheel shop before buying wheels that rely on a hub-centric fit.
Does tire size differ between March trim levels?
Yes. Depending on trim and model year, the Brazilian March has been fitted with 14, 15 or 16-inch wheels and tire sizes including 175/65R14, 185/60R15 and 185/55R16. Check your door placard for the exact factory size on your unit.
Where can I find the exact wheel and tire size for my specific March?
Check the sticker on the driver's door jamb, the owner's manual, or read the size printed on your current tire's sidewall. These reflect the exact factory specification for your specific trim and model year, which generic guides cannot guarantee.
