Does anyone drive with this bolt pattern of wheel as an every day car?

If I'm not mistaking you would need the hub rings too for a 5x114.3 wheel...

Thats what I was thinking also, but i do not know of anyone that is running them other than for drag wheels.

I did a little reading about this when I was looking at wheels for DRs. Most people say you'd probably be ok if you did run that bolt pattern everyday but would recommend it.

I just put DR's on 114.3 rims, but I did not use the hub ring. I just grinded the inner of the rim and slid right on. I used a feeler guage to see if there was a gap between the hub and the wheel. With out grinding I found that the wheel gets stuck on the hub.
When putting the lugs on, put all on hand tight to center wheel then torque 110ftlb.
I always check my wheels before racing or driving.
Just sharing what I did.

i just bought a couple of cobra rims 17X9...it clear the brembos but it did touch the rear sway bar when the car was jack up but when i brought the car down it barely seperated..so i'm gettin small spacers..it's only for the track..as for everyday use...get the proper size.

Though my Magnum isn't a daily driver, I've got about 13,000 miles on my Enkei RPO3's. They are 5 x 114.3 bolt pattern.
No problems so far.

Never had any problems with my 5x114.3 wheels. I don't drive it daily now, but did for several thousand miles.

After much research, I just ordered 114.3 wheels to get the style I wanted. They come with hubcentric rings and fitment is guaranteed. We shall see...
