The bolt pattern's only job is to maintain a frictional interface between the wheel and the hub. The only reason to complain about the bolt pattern is because your favorite wheels aren't made in that pattern, which means you'll have to suck it up, deal with it, and either re-drill the pattern or find a new set of wheels that are in 5x100 with about a 48 offset, of which there are tons to choose from.

Yep, but if it's the 5x100 from Subaru's parts bin then you'd know that the bearings on their 5x100 majorly suck when combined with wider and stickier tires.

I've went thru a lot of them.
