If I run 5x114.3 Wheels what do I need???

I know.........I know this is probably no the best idea but I am curious. I have been in love with a certain wheel for years and I can only find them in 5x114.3 so I thinking about taking the chance. The wheels are 21"x 8.5" with a 5x114.3 pattern and a 20 Offset. My question to you is what precautions do I need to take before purchasing them? Can I just bolt them on? Do I need Hub rings? And what tire do you recomend for running 21's?

Agreed. Find another wheel with the correct pattern.

Really?!? Is it that bad? I read the sticky forum about the 5x115 vs 5x114.3 and alot of people said dont do it but everyone who had 5x114.3 said they never have any problems on their 300. THIS IS KILLING ME!

I had 22x9 and 22x10 with 20 offsets and 5x114.3 bolt pattern on my Charger for 2000 miles with no problems whatsoever. I took them all the way to 120 mph and no shakes or otherwise.

if you're determined

If you're quite determined to run with that particular wheel design. I suggest you find a reputable wheel shop and have them drilled out to 115. That way you have the rims you want without "risking" previous 114.3 reported issues. I know of a forum member who had his drilled out to 115 and he hasn't had any issues that I know of as of yet. Either way, Good luck.
