They will slip on but not center up. So when you torque the nuts down, you are putting side force against the lugs. Done it, snapped lugs.

.7 may be enough slack I guess. But I have put some Pontiac rims on a Chevy (not sure of the size discrepancy)(some time ago. They seemed to fit just a little tight. Torqued then down and soon ping, ping. Started snapping lugs. I guess it'* a gamble you have to evaluate yourself. At the speeds I get to once in awhile, I like the safe side of things.

I had the Audi A4 rims on my 95 Regal bored out professionally by a shop in California for $25 a wheel and had the 5x112 bolt pattern drilled out and the 5x115 pattern pressed in.

Yeah I see where you're coming from, I'm just shocked it was installed by the dealership themselves
I'm thinking 20s sometime soon so maybe I'll get the right bolt pattern
