Default weird rota question

i know noone likes rotas and they are not jdm and they are inferior to every other JDM wheel but.....my dad bought a set of rota circuit 8s bronze 15x6.5 38mm offset......my question is on the inside of the wheel mounting flange there is a stamp for the bolt pattern.....oh yeah these are on a 93 civic hatch 4x100...but on the inside its stamped for the dual pattern but the bolt patterns are the same..lol both fit i figured that 4x114.3 WOULD NOT FIT at all so i didnt worry about having it mixed up.. any one ever seen that??

How much bigger are the holes than your studs? I would bust out your digital capliper and measure the patters to really figure out what's going on. One edge to another edge.

Cheers.

but what does the actual rim sticker say on the back of the rims? a lot of wheel manufacturers use the same mold and then drill the bolt patterns afterwards...just measure the bolt pattern like this :



114.3mm = 4.5 inches and

100mm= 4 inches

i think only the 15" c8's are 8x100. i had some 16x7 c8's and they were 4x100 and 4x114. the rota auto x is also 8x100.
