SVX Bolt Pattern

Okay, so I'm a bit confused. I d for this, and I came across 3 different answers for the SVX bolt pattern:

1. 5X4.5
(which I realize is the same as)
2. 5X114.2
and
3. 5X112

Sooooooooo... inquiring minds would like to end the confusion. I'm guessing it's 5X114 since that seems to be the more common answer, but if so, would 5X112 rims fit? Or no chance in hell?

Thanks!

Jim

5x114.3. No chance that 5x112 will work. Stock offset of 55 mm is extremely high which makes it difficult to find a *proper* fitting rim. Best to get as close as possible to 55 mm to maintain proper steering geometry. Generally, a 7" rim wide can have an offset as low as 38 mm and still fit with 215/45-17 tires, albeit with not so great steering geometry (and why use a 7" wide rim when the stock rim is 7.75" wide). A 7.5" rim can have an offset as low as 43 mm (maximum tire size: 225/45-17), and an 8" wide rim can have an offset as low as 48 mm (maximum tire size: 235/45-17).
