Aftermarket wheels

I purchased some aftermarket wheels from WheelsNext.com, they are 20's and supposedly have the same PCD (boltpattern) size, but when I went to slap them on they don't fit, they seem to be off by about an 1/8 of an inch and wont slide into the bolts on the car. Any suggestions before I send these back?

Either they're the right bolt pattern or they're not. Send them back and get the correct fitment.

The invoice says the PCD is 5x114. Not sure if they are just rounding down from 114.3.

There are 5x114 wheels, you got the wrong bolt pattern.

Yeah, just call them and make sure the fit with your brakes. They might fit but not sure if the will.
