Wheel bolt pattern question

rick lester · 10-08-2009, 05:04 AM

on 5 count stud pattern; center of one stud to outer of third stud. I would assume on odd count stud pattern would be similar but not sure, ford light duty f250 with 7 stud pattern would be center on first stud to outer of fourth? on even pattern stud center of first stud to center of opposite stud. when i measured bolt pattern for my fwd h body gm (86 oldmobile delta 88) i went from center to outside and came up with 4 1/2 inches. yes a ford bolt pattern, i was able to mount 1998 ford mustang cobra wheels all the way around without any mods. looks good too. i was just wondering about the old lecars with 3 studs, how in the hell is that measured? or even the smart car?
