sounds bad enough that i drove it home on the flat?
That definitely might have messed something up, but if the wheels were installed after that I would think they would have noticed damaged components when they put the wheels on.

Hub ring makes the easiest explanation, apologies for the tangent.

Double check the cast numbers on your wheels, that they are indeed the 5x112s, if they are the 5x114 bolt pattern they would be conical and you would still be able to bolt up to the 112 pattern.
They are 5x112 et 45. many are saying i need new hub rings but idk what size

Same place you are finding the bolt pattern info will show you hub bore.

Also, I understand what you purchased was 5x112... I’m saying look at the physical wheel you have to confirm that you have the 5x112 you purchased as the blqs come in 5x114.3 also and you can physically bolt that to a car that’s 5x112 and without looking directly in the holes you cannot tell it’s off.

Where can I find the hub bore?
