I thought the Chevy wheels were 6-lug.I have a set that are.I believe they went to 5-lug later.What is the pattern (measurement) on those?

SIR · 11-19-2010, 03:15 PM

I bleave them to be 5 on 4 1/2 maybe 5 on 4 1/4 I'll re check ....

I don't recall seeing any Chevys that old which had 5 hole wheels. To find the bolt circle diameter, measure the center distance between two adjacent holes and multply by 1.7.

Hi all I think the 5 on 4 1/2 or 4 1/4 should be for dodge or plymouth. All the 30s chevys I have seen are 6 lug both car and 1/2ton pickups. the ones in the photo above look like the 5 on 5.5 from the fords

36 and earlier are 5 lug. They aren't the 4 3/4 pattern though.
