5 x 115 on 8g

I know the bolt pattern for 99-03 is 114.3, but what'll happen if I use 115 instead of 114.3 (it's only .7 difference) :puzzled1:

Can you fit a 1" bolt into a .3" hole?

can you test fit it first, there are some mild differences in certain bolt patterns that will work with each other, but its really hard to say for certain.

wut car has a 115 bolt pattern? .7 sounds like too much spacing i doubt it will fit

you will have one hell of a time trying to get those wheels on....

you'll need a sledge hammer, a dremmel, WD-40, and a case of beer

chances are, it will slap on the car and you will drive away.

but then doing that will be like trying to cover a gunshot wound with a bandaid.

true it will more than likely bolt on. but will it be centered? with most aftermarket wheels, the tapered lug nuts used aren't there just to hold the wheel on, but also to center the wheel. if the wheel isn't centered then you get vibrations. but yea, can the wheel truly be centered if the lug nuts were just forced on?

i jus did some research on this. the wheels will fit on but like pinoy said when u put on the lugs they will not line up correctly with the wheels holes which will cause ride discomfort.

5x115 and 5x114.3 are interchangeable bolt patterns. I've sold 5x114.3 wheels on 5x115 cars (GM Passenger Cars) without issues. I've seen 5x115 wheels typically described as 5x114.3 or vice versa.

I've never seen wheels come off, or lugs get stripped because of these close fitments. That typically is an issue of improper installation.
