Default Does 5X114.3 = 5X4.5?

Sorry guys but I'm a dumbass. After smashing my stock rims on the curb this weekend, I ordered some aftermarket rims. The bolt pattern is 5 X 4.5, is this the same as 5 X 114.3 just standard measurement vs metric? The company assured me they would fit. By the way they are Motegi FF15 wheels. 16X7 front and back. I'm putting 225s on the backs and 205s on the front to try and keep it as close to stock as possible. Anyone see any problems with this. Thanks for your help.

Dunno for sure, but this link might help...

In any case, the fact that they're the same width front and rear is a little odd for an S2000. OEM rears are a full inch wider than the fronts. But if you've ordered OEM S02 tires, you should be okay with those sizes. Any other tire and you'll likely notice a good bit more oversteer.

Thanks Elistan, it's just metric vs standard, they should fit.
