I meant 5x5.72 and 5x5.75. You're saying you've never seen these numbers before..

understood now.

your original post, was kind of confusing.

the spacer you are wanting to get, the lug nut pattern is slightly larger.
which means it will go on, but will be a little loose. When you tighten up the lug nuts, it'll be tight and have no play...

why not just buy spacers that fit exactly to 5x120?
cant see how much you'll be saving by going to craigslist...

The "120" means that the distance from the back of one stud hole to the center of a second lug hold is 120 mm:



If you try to use a 120.7, the second lug will be off by 0.7 mm from your stud. If the stud hole in the spacer is the same diameter as the stud, it will not fit. The stud hole will have to be 0.7 mm larger in diameter than your stud diameter in order to fit. It might fit, it might not fit, but justn's question begs to be asked again. Why not just buy 5x120 spacers?
