If they are not 5x114.3 they are not going to fit. You may be able to get spacers that are 5x114.3 -> 5x115 to fit them but I dont know how common those would be.

I do not know if those are hub- or lug-centric, but if they are lug-centric you will/are going to have issues regardless of whether or not the wheels fit.

Also, you are increasing stress on both the studs and the wheel lug wells. May or may not be a long-term problem depending on the quality of your wheels and the condition of your studs and their threads.

You need to get the proper hub-centric rings to adapt the wheels to your car's hub bore diameter. You should do this with any aftermarket wheel, regardless of the wheel's bolt hole diameter.

The difference between the two would only be .35mm. I would question if overseas wheel and lug nut tolerances are that accurate to begin with.

True, but why risk your own safety and the safety of those on the road around you to begin with? "Measure twice, cut once," comes to mind. This could have been avoided and can still be corrected at minimal cost.

Every wheel I've ever encountered had lug holes at least 5mm larger in diameter than the lug studs themselves. Notice how when you put a wheel on that's properly hub-centered, you can rotate the wheel back and forth several degrees before you install the lug nuts.

However the main issue here is that the lug nuts won't properly contact the seating surfaces of the holes in the wheel if all the studs aren't properly centered in the lug holes. In other words you'll have each nut tightened against one small portion of the lug hole instead of all the way 'round, which really isn't safe at all.
