Between the studs as in across from each other in a star pattern; not between each consecutive stud around the pattern perimeter.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: 5 lug pattern?

Typically when you see lug patterns listed, the first number is the number of studs. The second number is the diameter of the circle of the studs. This diameter is on the centerline of the studs themselves.

5 on 5 or 5x5 = 5 studs, 5" diameter circle. 6 on 5.5 or 6x5.5 = 6 studs, 5.5" diameter circle. Even number studs are easy to measure. Odd number studs require it be done a little different.

Hopefully this chart will help some.
