How To Measure A Wheel Bolt Pattern

 

Ok so if I am doing something wrong and google is right. When you messure where do you messure from ? from what point to what point ??? Anybody know ?

 

Ok So I got my buddy across town to pull of a rim and measure . He told me 4.5 inches and he measured his burban and it's 4.75. When I googled it said s10 Blazer 5x120.7 or 4.75. I dont get it.

I have always measure center to center is that wrong?

 

Maybe a previous owner put on a lug pattern spacer so they could fit rims that are 5 x 4.5 & not the stock 5 x 4.75?!
I'm not completely sure how they look & what other side effects might be so google would be your friend for research.

 

Measure the lug pattern from the center of the studs, skipping one of course

 

Ya thats what I did center of stud skip one and center to another >4.5inches or 114 mm. If I measure it any more times im gona go crazy > so my blazer is 5x114 and so is my buddy's since I drove to his place to make sure.

Thanks guys

 

You do NOT measure from center of stud to center of stud. Take a look at the google link again. You measure from center of stud to outside of stud. This is why your are coming up with 4.5".

 

Thanks Albert
That would makes sense and would get 4.75. So why is that different from 4 bolt patten, cause 4 bolt u measure center to center.
Why does 5 bolt have to be different.

 

Not a clue as to why, just something you need to know if you ever look at a set of rims or rotors.
