5x5.5 is called standard bolt pattern. 5x114.3 is called non-standard bolt pattern. Standard bolt pattern is sometime used w/ big trucks and SUVs but haven't seen it being used on cars.

I don't think 5x5.5 equals 5x114.3. Not 100% sure though

I'm pretty sure 5x4.5 equals 5x114.3, so 5x5.5 won't fit.

I think some older land rovers have that bolt pattern.

1" = 25.4mm not 30... 5.5" = 139.7mm
