It is only 1,15 mm off from each stud, but inspect it closely, and you'll see the difference. Most Mitsus, Nissans and Mazdas uses the 114,3 (4,5") circle, in either 4 or 5 bolt patterns. Besides Audi or MB, the only other car that uses the 112-5 pattern is the European Ford Granada/Scorpio (known in the US as the Merkur Scorpio), and of course, the Eurovan and Sharan from VW PerL 88 Syncro |
