Default Rims professional help needed

Got a question im not to familiar with rim bolt patterns all i know is our cars are 5x100 now im going to be doing a converstion to the rear to be a 5x114.5 due to the volk rims i got from my brother its nothing a wheel adapter can't do quick but i recently read the sticker on the rims and the back says its a 5x114.3 now will that work with the 5x114.5 wheel adapter or is there something else i can do

I'm a little unsure what you're trying to say, but if the wheel says 5x114.3, then get the 5x114.3 conversion.

So, you're just converting the rears to 5x114.3? Are you going to do the fronts then or are you going to have mix-matched rims?

Personally, I don't see any realistic way to convert our hubs over without a ton of custom work and lots of money. It would be cheaper and easier just to redrill your borther's Volks.
