Strange bolt pattern?

I have had some of the worst luck with trying to find a set of wheels I like. I found one set, but they only made them for the 5 lug. Then I found these beautiful Boss 318's, but everywere I called says there's only 3 wheels left in the country because they've been discontinued.

I found another set I like now but the bolt patterns are confusing me. I know I need the 4x100mm bolt pattern, but these are the patterns that are listed:

4x100/114.3mm /+45mm
4x100/108mm /+45mm

Are either of those the right bolt pattern?

Yeah its a dual platter, here's a link for the wheels:
http://www.jsicustomwheels.com/devinofwd/dv450.asp

So should I do the 8x100/114.3mm or the 8x100/108mm?

Also, think I could fit 20x7.5's on with 235/30/20 tires dropped with sportlines? I know Jackalope is using 245/40/18 which comes to 25.4" total diameter, a 235/30/20 would come to 25.6" diameter and would still leave me 2.8" of tire which is still enough cushioning to not have it bend the rim with each bump.

I highly doubt the bolt pattern that's found on every Civic and Integra in existance is that strange, LOL. At least not as strange as 5x110.

Keep looking around, if need be search by vehicle and put that you have a Civic. Then take 3 showers to wash that icky feeling away of having claimed to drive a Honduh....

Well I understand its not "strange", I'm just wondering which 4x100 pattern to choose since I've never had to deal with that before.

I also edited my previous post with a question on 20" fitment. I think my math works since my width would be 9.6" compared to Jackalope's 10" and my height would only be 2/10" larger then his (25.6 compared to 25.4). Any comments on either the bolt pattern or 20" fitment would be stupendous!

let me give you a heads up on tire sizes. when you say that 245/30/20 the 30 doesnt mean 3" it means 30% of the tread width. so that means that your tread with is 245 mm and the side wall is 30% of that. just thought id let you know so that when you get the tires you are not surprised by seeing less than a 3 in sidewall.

Yeah I know the math. The 245/30/20 was a typo, should have been 235/30/20.

Math =
235/24.5 = 9.59" (w)
9.59"x.30 (30%) = 2.877" sidewall.
Total diameter = 25.6" (compared to 25.4" diameter that jackalope is running)

And I have to pick between 4x100/108mm /+45mm or 4x100/114.3mm /+45mm. The site I'm ordering it from has both of those as an option and I can only pick one or the other. So am I understanding that technically it doesn't matter which one since its a 8 hole pattern, although ours is 4x100/108mm?

IMO those are some ugly ass rims, but it's your car. As for bolt pattern all you need is 4X100 The other numbers are the other bolt pattern the wheels will fit.
You need 4X100/4X who gives a ****
