Default Anyone running 5x115 wheels on their car?

Hello guys, I've done a lot of google searching but a lot of the thread that comes up is regarding "will 114.3 fit on 115" on the Cadillac forums.

Seems like the consensus is that it "can" fit but not ideal.

Anyways, I just wanted to see if anyone personally is running 5x115 wheels on their cars with just a hub centric ring.

Thanks!

It doesn't matter if its a Cadillac forum or geo forum, 115 is 115

They "can" fit, but the stud will not be centered. I believe you can get them drilled out to center on a 114.3. As I'm sure you read on the Cadillac forum, the stud will bend enough to center the lug, but "can" eventually break.

gotcha. I think I actually found a old thread with you saying you had some 115 wheels for your winter wheels haha.

Did that not not work out?
But yeh you're right... I may look into variation nuts. Seems that people with 112 run 114 wheels with those. So I believe it'd be safe with 115 using wobble nuts?

You don't need wobble nuts. It's a 0.7mm difference in bolt circle, that's the thickness of a mechanical pencil lead.
