5X114.3 is not a problem. Some guys here are running Rustang wheels and they are 5X114.3. Now some will tell you need spacers, others will tel you, you don't. I guess it just depends on the wheel itself.

But the bolt pattern will fit.

5x114.3 is just fine. You wont notice any difference. They will fit just fine as long as the backspacing is the same.

nice! i been seeing alot of black rims lately, chrome are nice but black is better. i wouldn't listen to those people talk bad on the 5x114 rims. those are the people you want to stay away from cause non of them have one on their car and they only go by words of mouth or read on what someone posted.
