The table below shows how the I's wheel specifications have changed over the years. The 2004 model year is highlighted.
Fitment Notes
The 2004 INFINITI I has a bolt pattern of 5x114.3.
Imperial Conversion: This bolt pattern is commonly referred to as 5x4.5" in imperial units. When searching for aftermarket wheels, you may see them listed as 5x4.5".
This means it is a 5 lug pattern with a circle diameter of 114.3mm. When shopping for aftermarket wheels, ensure the "lug pattern" or "PCD" matches these numbers.

2004 INFINITI I — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the bolt pattern for a 2004 INFINITI I?
The 2004 INFINITI I uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern (also called lug pattern or PCD). The center bore is 66.1mm and the offset is 40-50mm.
What other years of INFINITI I have the same bolt pattern as the 2004?
The INFINITI I uses the 5x114.3 pattern from 1996 through 2004. Wheels from any of these model years are dimensionally compatible with the 2004, provided the offset and center bore also match.
Can I put aftermarket wheels on my 2004 INFINITI I?
Absolutely. Just ensure the aftermarket wheels have a 5x114.3 bolt pattern, an offset near 40-50mm, and a center bore of at least 66.1mm (using hub rings if larger).
Why is matching the 66.1mm center bore important for the 2004 I?
The 66.1mm center bore ensures the wheel is perfectly centered on the hub. If the wheel is lug-centric instead of hub-centric, you may experience steering wheel vibration at highway speeds.
How tight should I torque the lug nuts on a 2004 INFINITI I?
Refer to your owner's manual for exact specs, but always tighten the 12x1.25 hardware in a star or crisscross pattern. Re-torque after the first 50 miles of driving.
What does 40-50mm offset mean for the 2004 I?
An offset of 40-50mm means the wheel's mounting surface is 40-50mm away from its centerline. Changing this value drastically can affect suspension geometry and wheel bearing wear on your INFINITI.
Fitment Checklist Before You Buy Wheels
- Verify thread pitch before installation; M12x1.25 and M12x1.5 are not interchangeable.
- Confirm bolt pattern carefully. 5x114.3 is often confused with other common 5-lug patterns.
- This fitment uses a wide offset range. Check brake clearance and fender clearance before buying wheels.
- Torque lugs in a star pattern to 80 ft-lbs (108 Nm), then re-check torque after 50-100 km (30-60 miles).
Editorial Fitment Notes
