This may be a dumb ? But it dont hurt to ask. Does 5x114.3 will fit my 02 X Type?

 

Not without an adapter, the X-Type bolt pattern is 5x108.

 

Are 5x4.25 and 5x108 really the same???....they are very close i know converting inches to millimeters but not exactly the same. Interested on a new wheel set and there are more options with the 5x4.25.

 

myjag, the rim will bolt up just fine more than likely, but the other thing to keep in mind is whether the 5x4.25 bolt pattern is a hub centric design. I think you will find out that it is not. In this case, that would be a bad idea to mount those rims to our cars. In the hub centric setup, the wheel studs are only responsible for holding the wheel against the hub and taking side load. In other rim styles, the complete weight of the car is set on the wheel studs. Therefore, those wheel studs need to be much stronger.

 

How would one know if a rim is hub centric?
