Hi 05Monte
Below from WebSearch
"No. Even if you did get them to fit, it wouldn't be safe for you to drive the vehicle with them.

The lug nuts must seat in an area on the hole drilled for the studs. If not seated correctly, they could work themselves loose, which means possibly losing a wheel while driving.

(yahoo answer)"
I would check with your local tire store/shop to confirm.
Also Check Out below link, or wait for one of our
Rim/Tire Experts 2 post.
Can we run 5 x 114.3 wheels if our bolt pattern is 5 x 115 .... Can we run 5 x 114.3 wheels if our bolt pattern is 5 x 115? ... does anyone know if 114.3 wheels will fit our pattern? if so that would make my job of finding rims ... I can only see it when I log in, but here's the link ...

they will fit, both of those bolt patterns fit the monte's, as well as the magnum too

you will need hub centric rings though, as you would with both of those bolt patterns


just make sure the offset is correct

They better fit! lol

I researched this as well and you will hear a lot of mixed "opinions" and theories. General consensus is that it will fit, but you need hub centric rings as mentioned above. They're a good idea anyway even if they are a direct fit in my mind.

The only cars that need rings are BMW'S & benzez. I do this thing every day with no problem but if you get a shake at 40 or less get the hub rings. Any more then it's a balance issue. Doing a 5x4.5 on a Monte does not require a hub ring. Use a skilled shop & you won't have a problem. It is with in dealer specs, & they won't fall off like some say, that's foolish.

Also, Magnum wheels will not fit the Monte unless the Magnum is an all wheel drive, wrong off set other wise.
