If you're reading this, chances are you're contemplating new wheels for your beloved Honda Acty Truck. Excellent choice! This tiny titan from Japan has quickly become a favorite among discerning motorists for its practicality, reliability, and undeniable charm. But before you rush off to bolt on those fancy new rims, let's dive into a crucial bit of information you’ll need—the Honda Acty lug pattern.
Understanding the Basics: Lug Patterns and Sizes
First, let's get down to brass tacks. Typically, your Honda Acty comes fitted from the factory with one of two wheel sizes:
-
12x3.5” wheels, sporting a lug pattern of 4x100.
-
Slightly larger 13x4” wheels, also utilizing the 4x100 lug pattern.
Both wheel variants feature a precise 56.1mm center bore. This ensures the wheels fit snugly around the hub, providing excellent balance and stability on the road.

Factory Wheel Specifications: The Nitty-Gritty
Honda didn't just slap wheels on the Acty truck and call it a day—they made careful choices to ensure optimal performance:
-
Backspacing: Factory wheels offer around 100mm (3.9 inches) of backspacing. This provides roughly a 1-inch clearance from the coil springs when fitted with standard-sized tires. The result? A balanced, secure ride without annoying rubbing or clearance issues.
Wheel Adapters: Unlocking a Universe of Options
Feeling adventurous? Want something a little more distinctive than factory wheels? Of course, you do. Enter wheel adapters. These brilliant bits of engineering genius let you adapt your Acty's stock 4x100 lug pattern to the more common 4x114.3 lug pattern, vastly expanding your wheel choices.
Here's an example of what you can find:
-
Wheel Adapter Spacers: A set of four 1-inch (25mm) adapters available from Amazon can convert your Acty from a 4x100 lug pattern to 4x114.3. Equipped with M12x1.5 lugs, these adapters typically cost around $58—cheap enough to make your wallet smile.
These adapters not only broaden your selection but also effectively increase both the positive offset and backspacing by 1 inch.
Recommended Wheel and Tire Setups
If you're going to customize, you might as well go all out. Here are some popular setups that Acty owners rave about:
-
Bold and Aggressive: With a 1-inch 4x114.3 adapter, you can confidently fit 14x7 wheels with a +13 offset—think Fuel Maverik wheels wrapped in 23x9.5x14-inch tires. This provides an assertive stance that turns heads without compromising your Acty's drivability.
-
Smooth and Stylish: Prefer a sleek, low-profile look without the hassle of lifting or modifying suspension? 14x6 wheels with a +30 offset and 175/65/14 tires offer the perfect no-lift, no-rubbing solution.
Lug Nuts: The Unsung Heroes
Don’t overlook this seemingly minor detail—your lug nuts. The correct lug nuts for your Honda Acty are M12x1.5, widely available and absolutely essential for ensuring wheel security. Proper lug nuts guarantee your wheels stay firmly attached, preventing embarrassing (and dangerous) roadside moments.
