18'' Wheels on your A? What size tires are you running? Post Pics!

well explain to me how a 5x4.5 wont fit on an LX without Hub Centri rings and having the Lug nut sit at the outer edge of the lug hole. (Seen with my own eyes stud ripping off of a charger because his drag slicks were 5x4.5) There is a difference it might be slight but it's there and for me I'd rather have the right lug spacing then risk my life to save a couple bucks.

Can't explain it. Most places list the LX bolt pattern as 115mm, which is not the same as 4.5", and it sounds like yours are 115mm. I came to the conclusion that they were listing the pattern as 115 when it was 114.3 due to rounding and I know the wheel I measured was 4.5", tried both patterns and the 115mm one didn't work well but the 4.5" one did. Parts look up I did indicates that the bolt pattern doesn't change, either, at least in the RWD cars. Didn't compare AWD ones.

What LX? Year? Maybe it changed after 2008 or something? RWD or AWD?

BTW, notice the other day that the Mustang wheels on TireRack.com show a pattern of 114mm, which isn't accurate either as I am certain it is 114.3 or 4.5".
