Does the bolt pattern have to be 5x115> or can we use something close like the 5x114.3 or 5x120?

That all depends on whether you want the wheel to fit or not! remember, if you find a wheel that is not the correct fitment size, odds are in your favour that you will be able to find a wheel adapter/bolt pattern changer that will allow you to mount those wheels on your specific application. It is not advisable to try to mount a wheel on the incorrect bolt pattern. These things are designed down to the milimeter spec for a reason.

Like the lioness told the elephant: "What don't fit, don't force!"

My experience has been that the online sellers do not have a full inventory of bolt pattern fitments. While the manufacturer might make the wheel in a 5/115 configuration, the online seller might only have certain of the most popular patters, like the 114.3. I have been doing much research lately as I am about to purchase wheels for myself as well. It's not always easy to find wheels to fit the front wheel drive GM passenger cars.

Here's one of the places I am considering buying from:
