How do you measure car and wheel bolt patterns?

Even Lug Bolt Patterns (4 Lug, 6 Lug, 8 Lug)

Measuring even lug patterns is very straightforward.

Simply measure from the center of one stud to the center of another stud directly across, like from 6 o'clock to 12 o'clock.

Odd Lug Bolt Patterns (3 Lug, 5 Lug, 7 Lug)

Odd number lug patterns can be a bit tricky.

The correct way to measure a 5 lug bolt pattern is to measure from the CENTER of the first stud to the OUTER edge of the third stud. Please refer to the 5 Lug diagram above as a visual aid.

NOTE: DO NOT use 4 Lug or 6 Lug measurement methods for 5 Lug bolt patterns!

The same concepts will apply to measuring bolt patterns on wheel holes.
