Number plate size

Post by ADS1 » Fri Apr 25, 2014 8:13 pm

Anyone happen to know the size of 4th gen jdm number plates, front and rear?
I need to get new plates tomorrow, and forgot to measure them, before i left my garage.
Cheers.

Should be 330mm by 165mm.
US size is slightly smaller at 305mm by 152mm.

Disclaimer: I haven't got a 4G but those are import plate sizes so can't see why they wouldn't fit.

Yep, 330x165, but the front will hang over the edge of the JDM front plate mount if you're using one.

Unless you...

Yes, it will over hang at front. How did you go about cutting yours down?

I'm pretty sure a US plate fits a JDM plate holder, perfectly ...oddly enough :?

Just a straight edge and a Stanley (Irwin) knife. About 4 good scores and you can fold/snap it. Where it fold/snaps it leaves a white edge though, but you can get rid of it with a bit of wet'n'dry, or just knife it all the way.
