Can 5x114 fit a 5x112 car?

can 5x114 fit an 5x112 car? The bolts are too fat and i was wondering if i could use 112 bolts and if it would be safe and still work? what would be my options? drill out the holes on the car for bigger lugs or will small ones fit?

Im not sure it will but I know that 2Phast in his M3 he has AMG Monoblocks and he had to widen the holes in the rims to make fit.

You can put 5x114.3mm wheels on a MB but you have to first take them to a machine shop to have the bolt holes drilled to the 5x112mm pattern.

If you buy the wheels from The Wheel Suppy, Sander he will have this done for you and it is a very professional job.

yes they will fit.....but you will have vibration problems....i know because i have put them on before and drove with them on....they will not work because german cars are hubcentric and use wheel studs not lugs like regular cars.....if you had a lexus you could rock mercedes rims without redrilling...they are lug centric....the books and people who have not done this will tell you otherwise but i work at a rim store and we do this kinda stuff all the time....perfect example a guy has an LS400 Lexus and we are putting 19 inch wheels just like mine on there...and they are mercedes 5*112 bolt pattern....lexus is 5*114.3....

I did leave out that the wheels if redrilled need to have a new hubcentric insert made also the will fit into the new rim and then will fit the MB hub accurately.

If this is done there will not be any vibraitions. This is how my wheels are setup and there s not vibrations.
