What is the verdict: Bolt Pattern 5x114.3 or 5x115?

[boydcoddington]

I can tell you unequivocally that the bolt pattern for both the 300C and the Magnum is 5x115. Keep in mind that with the extraordinary quality that Chrysler is putting into the suspensions of these vehicles, any aftermarket wheels that you purchase should be hub centric to the vehicle or it will translate directly to the steering wheel in the form of a vibration. A huge problem with a lot of cast or other than Forged wheel companies today is, the fact that they build one wheel to accommodate several vehicles so what they do is, drill the center bore of the wheel to the largest diameter they can to fit as many vehicles as they can.

The offset of the wheel can always vary a couple of millimeters and is in most cases, a matter of opinion if you want the wheels more towards the fender or more to the inside of the vehicle.

The wheel must line up perfectly on the lugs. 114.3 mm wheels do not line up on 115 mm lugs.

Good story NR. (I mean it's not like it's a big deal if your wheel comes off right?) Diablo makes a primary size of 114.3, but they also drill out some of their wheels to 115, because they know size does matter! Why take a chance, even if it's miniscule?

Nope! The RWD offset is to low (the rim will stick out) and the most important part is the hub size. If the wheel is not hub centric you are asking for a disaster.

Gang,

In reading through the posts discussing this question I may have missed what I am about to say. But, does anyone have any idea what .7mm amounts to. What it amounts to is .0275509055 inches. That is a little more than 3/128 of an inch when you look at a common tape measure. Plus that is across the diameter. In other words that’s from one side of the bolt circle center line to the other side. So that is about .013 of an inch per side. If you mount the 114.3 wheels on your ride and do the star pattern like you should when you tighten them, you'll never notice the difference. The wheels will tighten on center like they should. The OEM hardly has tolerances this close. Flame suit is now on.

I second your observation mspeasl.
