Bolt Pattern question!!
Hey guys i just got off the phone with MHT wheels and they said even though my taco is 5x114.3 that the 5x115 will slide on... the only reason i ask is they have the correct offset in the 5x115 and not the 5x114.3. this sounds suspect to me... thanks yall
.7 mm is not much at allI have seen a lot of front wheel drive gm cars use the 5x114.3 when their true bolt pattern is 5x115
maybe it just surprised me that they would say ok to something not "by the book" ya know

Well I am a machinist by trade and do ALOT of 5lug conversions as well. When I first read this I was saying no but them I got the calculator out and 114.3mm is 5x4.5 and 115mm is 4.5275. So it is less than half of a 1/16th of an inch, with that being said if it was mine I would prob do it. And after thinking about it I have a vehicle that is 5x115mm bolt pattern and I have a set of 17's that are 5x4.5. I think I am going to try and put them on and see in a week or 2. Hell I might have just gotten a set of 17's for the wifes new ride lol just take them off her old ride. But if you have a couple weeks then I can test fit it for you. It would be the opposite way but still the same. I have a toyota hub laying around and if I get time before this weekend I will take off one of the wheels off her ride and check to see what it looks like. I am going out of town so if I don't get time it would be next week at its earliest. John
.7 is almost nothin and they know what fits so i would trust the word. its not a big difference at all
i also use 5x114.3 fwd rims
