4th Gen TL rims on 3rd Gen TL

Do the 4th gen TL rims use different lug size than the 3rd Gen TL?

Thinking out putting 4th Gen 18" TL rims on 2008 Type S.

3G TL = 5x114.3
4G TL = 5x120

Thanks, I'll let the seller know he gave me the wrong lug nut pattern.

Darn, kinda, sick of the old Type S shoe.

Is it true going up to 18" you will lose performance? Gas Mileage? Or it all depends on the rims?

I've thought about aftermarket. Still debating if I'm gonna sell the car. Keeping it OEM, should keep it's value.

Wheel weight and tire really depends. These Hankook summer tires I just got seem to be killing my gas mileage by about 2-3 MPG. Summer tires are a lower treadwear and therefore stickier tires. More resistance = more power to move them = less MPG.
