Re: well this lug pattern fit?
Everyone here thats telling you to do it right is an idiot.
Mount them and just torque down really hard on the lugs. Theres zero risk involved here.
And while you're at it, take a torch to your springs to help drop it, handle better. Oh, and put tires on that are about 10 sizes too small. . . also, add a 300 shot of nitrous. . . dude, you would trump the word 'ballin'

yes it will work with the right lug nuts . just got to make sure the lugs nuts bead right against the rims to make them center other wise it will through ur balance off which will cause bad axles, more quicker tire wear, a shitty ride, and possible breakage to the lugs it self. is it worth it NO . is it safe NO . is it possble yes . if it was a play truck you are doing this too i would but to a car no .

Facts:
5x115mm
5x4.5in = 5x114.3mm
Reasoning:
Yes it will work in most cases. You can also use hub centering rings to senter the wheel too, using special care when tightening the lugs to keep the wheel centered.
Fact:
Okay heres the "BUT", But remember the lugs on any given vehicle are designed to truely hold the wheel on with tension, and if there is any force acting other than that, there is likelyness of creating Shear tension, which would break the stud/lugbolt.
So the true answer, stay away from interswapping 5x115mm and 5x114.3mm wheels. Stay away from anyshop that tells you its the sames thing, because its NOT!
be safe.

They'll go, but that 0.7mm diameter difference isn't going to do you any favors for keeping the lug nut seats concentric. All the studs will have to bend in slightly, and depending on the type of stud and lug, it might be possible to make the stud bend into an 'S' if the lug seat makes it straight but offset to the other bolt circle diameter.
Is that something new? Shear and tension are two different things, in two different directions. I think you mean bending.
