I don't trust it myself, but check with Silverbullit. He's got a set of wheels off a Stang on his.

They will bolt up, but I don't recommend them to people as you risk breaking studs with added stress.

Yes this is a big debate topic and I am NOT starting the debate, I will just recommend if you CAN get the proper 5x115.

Running a different bolt pattern wheel won't affect your suspension. You do however run the risk of putting too much side stress on the lug studs which could cause them to shear off.
