This was the missing information I required as I kept coming up with a 4.75" measurement. Finally a direct to the point video with the needed explanations of the "hows and whys". Excellent! Thanks!
Measure from outside left hole, to centre of the right side hole, saves adding the 1/4 inch. When measuring 4, 6 and 8 bolt wheels measure directly across the circle, where as 5 cannot be. Metric conversion to standard can also help. Eg. 5x114.3mm = 5x4.5in 5x100 is easier to get exact with a millimetre ruler rather then 5x3.94in.
Probably easier to measure from the center of the first lug to the outside edge of the second one. Then there is no need to add a quarter. And there is no need to be super-accurate here. It's not like you have to make sure you have a 4.5 instead of a 4.48759.
thanks alot for making this video i was just measuring from center to center on a 5 lug car and it was 4.5 so i ordered 4.5 rims and they were 1/4 off from bolting up. now i know. i will be sending these back to jegs and the time and cost to send them back i will just chalk up to education.
Thanks for the video! Had a quick question... If you were to start at the same point in the video, and measure down, in between the two lugs across from it, the ruler would hit the black line at exactly 4.5", right? In order to find the middle point of those two lugs, simply measuring between them and marking the halfway point should suffice? This should work for an exact measurement, correct? At any rate, thank you very much for a solid, quality video.
You said to measure from center to center of the holes. I've heard and seen others say that in five lug wheels is from one side of one hole to the center of the other hole. Is that why you add the extra quarter inch?
Why try to measure anything center to center? Measure edge to edge. It's easier and much more accurate. Also, adding 1/4" is inaccurate and will give you only a rough estimate. If you want accuracy, measure from left edge of any hole to the left edge of an adjacent hole, and multiply by 1.70. Or you can measure to the second hole over, and then multiply by 1.04.
Cotronixco Is the 1.04 mathematically exact? That seems like the correct method for compensation but trying to see what the exact scaling should be just out of curiosity. Might have to apply some trigonometry to it to find out, otherwise. I'm sure it's been worked out before, just haven't seen it yet.
@@dtrrtd774 The formula is 2 / square root of (2(1-cosine theta)) where theta is 72 degrees if adjacent or 144 degrees if 2 lug holes away. Base on the formula, a more accurate answer will be 1.05146222424.
@@felixfong6532 It's easier reduced to 1 / Sin(72). You can even replace 1 with your 2-lug hole away measurement and get your diameter calculation that much quicker: Center-to-Center / Sin(72) = Bolt pattern diameter. Likewise if you measure between adjacent holes substitute Sin(72) with Sin(144).

Adding 1/4" would seem to only apply for a specific range of bolt patterns. I would have expected the correction to be multiplicative rather than additive. Still, this should be good enough to check that it's one pattern vs. one that's significantly off from that.

@@martinrivera3230 This is a rule of thumb and is only perfectly accurate for 5.1079 inch diameter bolt patterns. The smaller or larger the diameter goes the farther off from 1/4 inch you get. The formula to find the bolt pattern diameter with the center to center measurement in the video is: center-to-center-measurement / Sin(72). All you need is a scientific calculator which most now carry around daily in the form of a smart phone.

That is great for SAE patterns, how about for Metric patterns? They are so close that adding .25" would not get you where you need to go... Also, you can measure from the edge of one hole to the edge of the other hole and not have to guess if you are reading the exact center or not.
Just a heads up guys. These videos where a school project from a young man in our community. He approached us looking for help for his production class. In no way where they intended to be used here on youtube. He put them on youtube to demonstrate his ability to produce not his ability to teach you all about wheels. He had to produce this video and teach his classmates something. If you need help with bolt patterns, back spacings or anything else we would be more than willing to help anyone. just visit www.coyswheel.com
@@tpsullivan7 Diameter is twice the radius. But again have fun getting straight correct measurements because a 115 mm pattern is different from a 110 mm. So if you're off by as little as 2.5 mm in your measured radius you may order wheels that won't even fit.
So you are measuring the diameter of the circle the holes are centered on. If you just said that then it could be applied to any wheel. Mine has 8 lugs so I can just measure the center of one hole to the center of the opposite hole. I think...
Instead of shooting videos, why don't you grab a brooms and clean your shop up. Damn dude, I would buy nothing from a man who can't keep his shop clean!
How do you know He don't have maintenance clean up after each day or himself doing it? Who cares Asshole. You are just jealous YOU wish You had a shop like that.
I'm sorry, but I don't have that information... I just was hired to film and edit the video. Give them a call or post this same comment on their Facebook page. That's what I would suggest to get in contact with them. Best of luck.
3-1/4 would be 3-1/2 but this video is only rule of thumb because 3.25 would actually be 3.417. The formula to use is take the center to center measurement (as done in the video) and divide it by Sin(72) on a scientific calculator e.g. 3.25 / Sin(72) = 3.4172....
This is not math. Why not measure form the center of a lug nut to the point of the drawn circle ( that the lug hole were drilled on) directly across skipping one and a half lug nuts, if you will? adding 1/4 of an inch seems arbitrary since the diameter of the lug bolt itself is also a factor.
Because with 5 lug patterns there is no hole directly opposite from any other hole from which to measure the true diameter of the circle (bolt pattern). You have to utilize the farthest distance you can measure and account that the diameter of the pattern is going to be larger than that.
If you measure it correctly, you measure from the center of the one stud skip one stud and measure to the outside of the following stud and it comes out to 4 1/2, you don't add a 1/4 inch if done correctly! Just saying!
That's just another rule of thumb. If you want a calculated precise number, take the measurement as done in the video and divide by Sin(72). A 4-1/2 measurement would calculate to 4.73158. If your pattern is 5x4.5 then the center to center measurement is 4.27975 so measuring it your way just added 0.22 inches which is pretty close to 1/4 (0.25) inch.
because 5.5 is the diameter of the circle that runs thru the middle of each bolt hole and, since there is no 2 bolt holes directly across from each other (like there are on 4, 6, and 8 lug wheels) you need to add 5% to the measurement to get the true diameter.
William Mueller No, the correct way is to measure from the outside edge of one lug nut hole to the center of the one across from it, no addition needed.
William Mueller William Mueller gets the prize! 1/4" is an approximate value in this general range. 5% works for any diameter circle with a 5 way division. Also. adding half the diameter of the lug hole is a crude approximation. Again, when working in this limited range it works out close enough but why not tell it like it is and do the math correctly. I would also like to add that you can measure from the edge of one hole to the edge of another and not have to guess were center is. Use either the left or right side of both holes and the number is always the same for left to left, right to right or center to center.
So up above I saw 4%, and here it says 5%. Is there a mathematical proof for the exact value, or are these also an approximation, albeit much closer than the 1/4" offset approximation?
Wow, it never fails to amaze me when people that don't know anything want to teach. What a waste of time! You measure the diameter of the circle from the center of one lug hole directly across to the other side of the circle. Dude really!?
That's just another rule of thumb because 1/2" studs would be 1/4" from center to edge. Any lug pattern is center of wheel to center of a lug multiplied by 2.
I didn't read all the comments but if you have a 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern than you have a 4.5" bolt pattern simple as that. If you have a 6 on 6 than you have a 6" bolt pattern. The only reason why you would measure at all is if you don't know what the bolt pattern is on your vehicle/wheel. If you want an accurate measurement lay a straight across the middle of 2 studs/holes next to each other than lay your triangle square against the straight edge go to the center of the adjacent stud/hole and read the distance. on a 5 on 4.5 you will read exactly 4.5".
That method is extremely inaccurate because circles don't have flat sides. A 5x5 bolt pattern would measure 4.522" with your method a whopping 0.478" of inaccuracy in a supposed "accurate" measurement.
@@killer2600 Everyone is right. You just need to understand what a bolt circle is. Please don't order a wheel with a 5 on 4.76 for your Jeep. I wish I could add a PDF drawing but I can't. Correct number between the 2 holes would be 4.76" for a 5 on 5".

This is NOT an accurate measurement, only approximate. Using trigonometry, you will find that taking the C to C measurement of 2 holes (skipping one) and then dividing by 0.9511 (the cosine of 18 degrees) you will get the exact BCD. The C to C for a 5 lug 4.5” BCD is 4.28” (close, but not exactly 4-1/4). Dividing by 0.9511 works for inch or metric measurements. No other way is exact.

This is NOT an accurate measurement, only approximate. Using trigonometry, you will
find that taking the C to C measurement of 2 holes (skipping one) and then dividing by 0.9511 (the cosine of 18 degrees) you will get the exact BCD. The C to C for a 5 lug 4.5” BCD is 4.28” (close, but not exactly 4-1/4). Dividing by 0.9511 works for inch or metric measurements. No other way is exact.
