So I know we are:

114.3mm X 5 Lug

Also known as

4.5" X 5 Lug

I've seen 115mm X 5 -- is that the same, just rounded up and "nicknamed" to make things easier or is it genuinely 115 and different??

 

don't know of any 115mm patterns, so it might infer the 114.3mm pattern. most times, i see 114 used. 112 is the bimmer/vw.

 

It's not the same..

I know the 115 bolt pattern is used alot by GM on the American Cars..

Maybe it would help to explain what the 115 vs 114.3 really means..

On a 5-bolt wheel, it's the distance from the center of the bolt to the opposite ring on that runs throught the center of the other bolts..

Here is a pic.. the blue is our pcd of 114.3mm, the purple is 115mm

the red is the bolt holes, and the distance from the center of the hole to the other side is the PCD..

 

I understand what bolt pattern is....

I just didn't know if saying "115" was a shortened version of 114.3 for simplicity.

I know 114.3 is also known as 4.5

Apparently there actually is a 115...

I'm assuming that won't fit right?

thanks

or will that 0.7mm really matter?

 

TTT

 

Also, because I found a set of Prelude wheels -- but they are listed as 115 -- I was doubting honda would use both 5 x 114.3 and 5 x 115 on their vehicles

 

The latest Gen Prelude wheels fits our cars just fine..
In fact, most Honda wheels can be swapped between the various models.

they probably used 115 thinking it's the same...

I think the .7mm won't make that much a diff

it's only .027 inches wider.. so I think it should fit no problem..
It's the middle of the bolt.
