Have to agree with Mike 4/23 posting. Dots for wheel lugs are NOT centered around the hub marking. Making for a little bit of a challenge to get things lined up correctly to see what hub spacing you have.

Printed on 8-1/2 x 11, straight line measures 7", but I notice the bolt-pattern dots are not centered around the center "hub" of the template. For example, the 4-on-4 appears with center to bolt center 2" (correct) one direction and the opposite 4-on-4 bolt hole is 2-3/16" from the center. So, not positioned on the page about the center of the hub diagram and not the correct center-to-center dimension.

What about 6 lug with 7.25" measuring center bolt across to the other. I need to find the conversion or something.

That must be an old wheel. Are you trying to replace it or find tires for it? I don't think those have been really "produced" since the 60-70s.

@DavidB yes it's on what I'm told is 1959 international no one has a clue other then changing axle that is off the front end on the truck rear end its quite nice except the fact having 8.75R16.5LT

Ahh those are really awesome looking trucks! Aside from browsing forums and finding someone with the parts you need it would probably be best to swap the axles for something you can actually get parts for.

To help with the printing problem on a 8 by 11 piece of paper. Just set scale it to 134% and give that a shot. it worked for me

This does not print out correctly. Is your 6 7/8 measurement wrong? At 100% on 8.5X11 paper that line is 5 inches. I give up!

Bill K.

4/21/2022

why not just offer a pdf file that has the image allready sized to the 6-7/8" so that a customer could download and print on a printer that settings that are ready sized for 8-1/2 x 11 paper?

David B.

4/21/2022

Hey Bill, the 6-7/8" line is to let you know it printed at the correct size. That is the diameter of the circle. It is formatted to be printed on a standard sheet of paper (8-1/2"-11"). And it does state that at the top of the page. Does that clear it up for you?

I print 100%, but it doesn't seem to match for measurements. What would the outer circle diameter be to use for verification?

Victoria B.

The outside diameter of the diagram should be 6-7/8 inches.

Right click the image > save image as > save in destination > open up the file and print it.

Much appreciated

Thanks for the template! Constructive suggestion: Create a .pdf version scaled to the more common 8 1/2 x 11 paper instead of 8x11. That'll reduce the chance of user error accidentally resizing the template.

Jon G.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll pass it along!

Tim

@JonG Apparently you didn't pass that info on. your pattern still doesn't print correct on 8.5 X 11 paper. please correct this if you want to help people !

David B.

Hey Tim, I am having it worked on. In the mean time you can use the linked site below that will go into detail how to measure any bolt pattern and find out what it is. In my opinion it is easier to just grab a tape measure anyway.

My most common size 15 x 6.5 rims is pattern 5 x 3.96 (5 x 100). Any chance you could add it to your template?

Matt J.

To verify that the pattern is 100% when printed, it would be highly advantageous for the pattern to include a linear line with a measurement,i.e - [this line should measure 6" to verify pattern is printed at full scale]

I buy 15x6.5JJ rims what is the bolt pattern of this rims? Thanks

Chris R.

5/28/2020

The most common bolt pattern for a 15" wheel is a 5 on 4-1/2", but it still doesn't hurt to verify this. I've linked another article below that also helps with determining your bolt pattern.
