Wheel help

I bought new wheels and tires and can't get them to fit. I looked up the bolt pattern size and ordered what it said my rx8 has...5x114.3...but the holes aren't lining up. Is there anything I can do?

Maybe they mixed up your order? A picture would help, but there aren't a whole lot of ways this could be not working with the correct wheels.

They should, what's the offset? Either that or they messed up.

5x114.3 is the correct RX8 bolt pattern, you either aren’t aligning the holes and studs properly or the wheels are a different pattern

the wheel offset and center hole diameter matter too
