Apparently ive been driving around with 5x112 wheels , now what?

I traded rims with someone 2 months ago and always noticed a little tiny wobble when i get moving but faded after a bit , well i just pulled the wheel off to check the specs and all 4 wheels on the back say these 3 sizes , 5x112 ... 5x120 ... 5x100 , not sure if those are all the same but either way there is no 5x114.3 .. they are ACE CONVEX

i love my wheels and would like to keep them , plus i dont the budget for other wheels so what are my options to get me back to normal
also am i doing damage to anything , after 2 months the lug nuts are still super tight ?

Buy OEM 19s and get rid of your wheels.

You wanted an answer. Safety should come before looks.

You can get around, just be ready for something major to happen if you run over a pot hole as large as your wheel. ^ He's harsh but speaks the truth.

The design of that wheel doesn't look like it would have "universal" bolt holes, meaning it has multiple sets of holes to fit the different sized lug patterns. Of those three sizes printed on the back of your wheels, does one of them have an X, or little dent, to indicate which bolt pattern it actually uses? No way it has all three.

The wobble you're experiencing is probably due to needing some hubcentric rings. The wheel might have the hub bore printed on them, then just match those up on Amazon to get the correct size. Something like 75mm x 66.1mm (66.1 being the hub size on your G)

Well I just got off the phone with ACE alloy and they said the numbers on the back don't mean anything because they are machined to order and that size is most likely the right size (114.3) if that's what I purchased them as, which I did
He said the cause is 99% hub rings which I don't have on, so I ordered some... ill give an update as soon as I put those on

Yea.... mounting a 5x112/120/100 wheel onto a 5x114.3 lug set would be a weird fit. Not sure it would even go on. Just try the hub rings and go from there.
