So I've been looking for new wheels for my Monte, and for some reason the only place with good options/prices, CARID, only has wheels with the 5x114.3 bolt configuration. My Monte has a 5x115 bolt pattern and I noticed that there is quite a dispute on the internet if it's ok to use them. I will also note that CARID says that the 5x114.3 wheels are "compatible" with my car. I saw some people say that it's fine as long as I use hub-centric rings, and I think the installation kit comes with them.

I'm planning on getting 18" diameter 8" wide wheels with 245/45Z R18 tires.

Here's the link to the wheels: https://www.carid.com/motegi-racing-...pe-859997.html

 

Sounds like you already did the research.

Run them at your own risk. You know it's not the fully correct bolt pattern, there COULD be added stress on your hub and studs. If they snap, you know why.

 

I agree with Chibi. There could be added stress, which could very well damage bearings or studs. That being said, I run 5x114.3. Many others run that bolt pattern, one guy from way back ran 12's in the quarter mile regularly on Mustang rims with slicks.
