Bolt pattern question

[wmoesser]

Time to start pricing winter tires for the car. I'm thinking about getting a set of winter rims and tires on the low low, but have a question on bolt pattern. I see that the MSP is spec'ed at 5-114. I see a ton of rims out there at say 5-114.3 and not 5-114. Is the MSP truly a 5-114.3 or do we have a funky car that needs 5-114?

Fail
it should be QFT

Just be sure you have the correct center bore. I bought some winter steelies off of a lexus and soon found that the center hole was wrong. wheel spacers solved the issue though.

YES. I made the same mistake, picking up a set of stock MS3 wheels to replace my steelies -- and MAJORLY failed when I went to put 'em on the car and heard 'CLANG!' cause the center bore wasn't right!

However, my situation may have been different because I wasn't on stock rotors -- so MS3 wheels might work on stock MSP rotors, but I make no guarantees.
