This is probably a dumb question however, would a 5x120 fit the 5x115 pattern? Im not sure how they are toleranced and I know the mustangs 5x114.3 will fit so Im hoping. I can get tires and wheels for cheap with this pattern. TIA

 

5x120mm will not fit on a 5x114.3mm. 114.3mm is the correct size for gen
5-7's. i wish 120mm would fit because i had a set of brand new camaro 20's and the pattern was too big.

 

5x115 is the correct size for gens 5-7

 

Yeah 5x115 is the correct size for our Montes. 5x114.3 will fit but I don't think the 5x120 would fit.

 

That is probably a noob question,

but is the only difference between 114.3 and 115 mm due to inches conversion to metric ''round'' number?

Should i be looking for 114.3 or 115 for my monte? Does a 115 will fit any better?

 

Well 115 is the correct bolt pattern, but 114.3 works fine.

 

The Montes were manufactured with 115. There are two sides of the "Can I run 114.3 on my Monte?" debate. You have people that have and have had no ill effects, Chris (monte carlo 3831) is running Mustang Bullit wheels on his Monte, and a few others here have or are running Mustang rims. Then you have other people that will cringe and tell you your looking for trouble, I haven't seen them give any real world examples of trouble but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. I think the reason people are wanting to run 114.3 is because the aftermarket world for Mustang wheels is a lot bigger and that's the size for the Mustangs.

I could be wrong and I'm sure if I am others will chime in and tell me so. :p

I won't tell you to buy 5x114.3 because it's not the CORRECT wheel size. I will only stand by what is supposed to be on the car.

Whether something fits or not, is a difference story. But I know what is right.

 

my FR500's off the cobra bolted right up deff had clearance issues with them being 18x10s in the rear lol and 18x9 in the front lol but they looked sweet

 

Brian, your absolutely right. Im looking at aftermarket wheels and the 114.3 did bother me a bit.

Here is my situation, no racing, no drifting, no crazy driving except maybe some needs to hear the sound of the 4-5000rpms...but nothing to give a hard time to my springs, wheels or whatever structural composant.

Im asking myself if 114.3 bolts could cause damage of any kind. Im scared of facts or personnal stories, but if i cant find any of it, I would definetly give it a try.
