4 Studs are obvious, but 5 studs????

errr... lol

The gap between the hole centres in mm, just as you would with 4 stud but you then have for eg 5x114.3 instead of 4x114.3?

Surely the number of studs is the obvious part. lol

Same as 4 studs...Centre to centre. Take 1 hole then follow it to the opposite hole (furthest away)

I'm aware of how hweels work, PCD, offset and all that pilaver (sp.), but you measure 4 stud on opposite studs, 5 studs don't have an exact opposite...

Measure from the centre of the wheel to the centre of a hole and double it.

For all those that said measure them tha same as four stud.....:tard: You FAIL!

the 4 bolt one is maths for the sake of it just measure from top to bottom.
