17" wheels - are they interchangeable?

17" wheels - are they interchangeable?
Are the 17" Cayman wheels the same bolt pattern as the 17" Flute wheels?
I like the flutes more than the Caymans, and want to put Flutes onto the 2006 X-type I'm buying, which currently has Caymans.
I have a couple of the 17" Flute wheels which are apparently a 5 x 110 mm bolt pattern.
Factory Wheel Warehouse also has the Cayman wheel, which they also describe as a 5 x 110 mm bolt pattern.
However, .
These "triple-5's" are described as fitting 2002-2008 X-Types - and they're described as 5 x 108.
But I only see a single "hub" in the SNG Barratt parts catalog - which makes me think there's only the one bolt pattern across all years of the X-type.
Does anyone know if they changed the bolt pattern for the wheels? Are they all the same? Or is that 2 mm difference inconsequential?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Clapp, I'm going to go with my gut and with those five data points - and ignore the less conclusive seller information i see on Ebay, Amazon, and FWW.
Your AutoRimShop link shows my '03 X-type Flutes as 5 x 108 too, while my FWW link shows them as 110. I bought two from FWW for my '03 last year, and they fit perfectly. Go figure.
And thanks Dell - I certainly don't want "wobbly nuts" either.

sov211 is correct. But you may ask why going from 16" to 17" wheels doesn't screw up the accuracy of your speedometer.
Answer: The tire diameter is 25" for both 16" and 17" rims with OEM tires.
16" rims have tires with 4.5" sidewalls: 4.5" + 16" + 4.5" = 25" tire diameter
17" rims have tires with 4" sidewalls: 4" + 17" + 4" = 25" tire diameter
So why change? Aside from appearance, 4.5" sidewalls on 16" wheels are more flexible, for a comfort suspension; 4" sidewalls on 17" wheels are stiffer, for a sport suspension.
