Question PCD question (yes, I know MB uses 5x112...)

Is it physically possible for a wheel to be truly universal, i.e. PCD of 5x114.3, 4x114.3, 5x100, 4x100, 5x112, 5x120? I was inclined to say no, but there's a set of used Racing Hart wheels that I want to buy that has all 6 PCDs stamped on the back of the wheel... They came off a Lexus so I know they'll fit 5x114.3 but as for the rest... ?

depends on the weather
not possible .... but, many wheels have many bolt patterns listed on them because depending on the bolt pattern they have different load capacities and that's why they list them. it would read something like the following:

5-114.3 = 490kg
5-100 = 525kg
5-112 = 690kg

Thank you for the clarification, I think that must have been exactly the case.
