Default what does 5x112 mean?

from what i heard, the bolt pattern for rims need to be this number. i know that the "5" is the number of bolts, but what is the "112?" i saw some rims that i like, but they are 5x110. will these work as well?

Default 112 mm is measured from the center of one bolt to the edge of the bolt two bolts over.

Default Wait, that would mean...

That a 5x110 (VW) bolt pattern would have a different radius than a 6x110 (Viper?) bolt pattern. ???

How can this be a consistent measurement when 4, 5, and 6 lug designs are all being commonly produced? Wouldn't it be easier to just measure the radius?

Anyone have a history on this?

Default 4-, 6-, and 8-lug patterns are measurements of...

the diameters of the imaginary circle formed with the centers of the bolts. 5-lug patterns are measured from the back of one hole to the center of the second hole.<p>David
