Default lug nut questions.

i want to order these rims - https://www.wheelfire.com/scontent/W...GOLD2&SKU=9796 , but the lug nut options for these rims dont come in 5x115, but the closet thing is 114.3. will they fit the monte or is there a need for like additional parts?

Technically, the 114.3 will fit. I know a few people who have made it fit in the past. I don't know what issues will arise from it, others on this board will be able to shed more light. But I have seen it work before.

you're talking spacing, not lugs. They will work, but there will be skeptics who say no. but I can tell you for a fact the 114.3 will work. I ran them on my 06 and I'm currently running them on my 99Z34...

I've ran 20's in 5x114.3, they were off a Lexus haha had em for a good while too with no problems whatsoever... I did have some hubcetric rings with them just I'm case but I doubt they would've helped much since they were pretty flimsy

114.3 will work i ran 04 Cobra Mustang rims on mine for awhile, and SRT guys run Cobra R rims for drag tires which is 114.3 bolt pattern on a 115 pattern and theres some making 130mph passes so they will be fine
