My friend just got some new rims for his car that have a GM 5-on-115mm bolt pattern but we mocked them up on my stang and they fit just fine on the ford 5-on-4.5 pattern. What gives?

Mathematics!

The conversions are:
115 mm = 4.531 inches
4.5 inches = 114.3 mm

There are some "universal fit" wheels, that use different lugs depending on the application.

115 divided by 25.4 is 4.527 inches.
