No. Our car is 5x112. That's what will fit.

5x112 - 5 bolts located on a circle with diameter of 112mm. Meaning that the center of each bolt is 56mm from the center of the wheel. GOOGLE was invented for a reason.

anything you want can fit on your car, it just depends on how much you want to spend?

I'm sure you can get custom axles that are 5x114 if you want to, then 5x114 wheels will fit and you'll be unique.

that is actually incorrect... its a little more weird than that... hope this helps

4 Lug Pattern Measure from the center of the first lug to the center of the third lug in the pattern.


5 Lug Pattern Measure from the back of the first lug to the center of the third lug in the pattern.


6 Lug Pattern Measure from the center of the first lug to the center of the fourth lug in the pattern.

The Russian ^^^ this is good to know

sorry for the miss info, for 5 holes: the radius R = D/(2*sin(36)) where D == 5xD

but the point is that the second number determines the radius of the circle on which the center of the bolts lie

you can buy adapters to make those lug patterns fit. a guy over on vortex has some corvette sawblades on his car and he is running adapters. just a thought.
