Wheel question

I went to a site and typed in my svx found some nice wheels but the bolt pattern was 5/114.3 instead of 5/115 they claimed the wheels would work. Is this true?

Sorry for all the dumb questions can I run a different offset and does anybody know how much the stock wheels weigh? Also will going up a wheel size throw off my speedometer?

Go HERE to figure out what size tires to get. Put in your stock size, and it will help you figure out how far off your speedo will be and which tire to get to make it read the same.

Stock offset is +55 mm. You can go down to around +40 depending on the wheel width, but going past +55 (if you can even find such a thing) would be a bad idea.

Stock wheel weight is 20 lbs.
