Center to Center Adjacent Bolt Hole Distance for 5-on-4-1/2 Wheel Bolt Pattern
Question:
My tires are ST 175/80 R13 Wheels have 5 lugs The lugs are very close to 2-11/32inch center to center. Does 5 on 4-1/2inch wheel designation fit?

Expert Reply:
Two adjacent bolt holes on a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern would be 2-5/8 apart, center to center while 2-11/32 would be just a bit further apart. Do you have the hub handy? Go ahead and check your measurement using the wheel studs on the hubs which might be easier to measure center to center.
If 2 adjacent wheel studs are indeed 2-11/32 inches apart, then a 5 on 4-1/2 wheel won't fit as the measurement would be off enough that the wheels wouldn't fit correctly.
I've linked to our help article which shows how to determine your wheel bolt pattern.
