1981 Renault R18i Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1981 Renault R18i Deluxe uses a 4x100 bolt pattern with a 60.1mm hub-centric bore. The factory wheel measures 13x5 inches at a 36mm offset. You can upgrade to 13x4.5, 13x5.5, 14-inch, 15-inch, or 16-inch widths—all the way up to 16x6.5—giving you flexibility to match your driving style and aesthetic without changing lug nuts or adapters.
Since only 4x100 bolts fit this Renault, confirm any wheel meets that specification before ordering. The 60.1mm center bore requires hub-centric rings if your chosen wheel has a larger bore, ensuring proper weight distribution and balance. Aggressive offsets or extremely wide setups risk contact with fenders or suspension geometry, so choose wheels that respect the chassis's original proportions.
Every wheel we list for your R18i is verified to bolt on and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. Vors, Heritage Wheel, Work Wheels, Motegi Racing, MST Wheels, Petrol, Enkei, and Shift all have compatible options in stock and ready to ship.
