FD bolt pattern question
5x114.3 seems to be the correct bolt pattern for the FD, but on tirerack.com many of the wheels that they show to fit are 5x114.
I'm wondering whether:
1. specs on the wheels are just inaccurate (i.e. the wheels that they show that fit come in a 114.3x5 size, but this size isn't shown)?
or
2. that 5x114 fits fine and the ".3" doesn't matter?
Anyone know? I'm considering some 5x114 wheels (not on tirerack) that supposedly fit fd's but just wanted to make sure that they fit.

5x114.3mm and 5x114mm are the same size. It is also known as 5x4.5". Some spec sheets just use more precision than others (note that this doesn't mean that the 5x114.3 wheels are drilled more precisely -- it's just a difference in how the dimensions are reported), but these specs are all the same size.
