What your after is how far apart the studs are apart,? generally 100mm or 114.3mm(4.5inches) its simply just how spaced out the 'circle' that the studs sit on.


If the stud pattern is a 4 x 120 it means it has four studs (holes) on a 120mm PCD (pitch circle diameter, circle that the holes are equally spaced on). If you measure the greatest distance apart on a four or even numbered stud pattern this will give you the diameter. If measuring a 5 or odd number pattern you need to measure the distance from center of wheel to center of stud. This will give you radius then multiply by 2 to get the PCD (diameter).

Example Say you had 5 studs and the radius was 62.5mm, X 2 = 125mm. Then the stud pattern would be a 5 x 125.

What is the bolt pattern for a 2000 Honda civic coupe?

4x100. the way you check is to measure the center of one stud diagonally to the center of another stud. if it is 100mm, then they are definitely 4x100.


How do you measure wheel bolt pattern?

Hold a piece of paper over the wheel studs . Mark the center of each stud on the paper. Then draw a line from one stud across to furthest stud. Do this for each stud. You should have 5 lines all of which intersect in the center of the pattern. Then take a compass , put the point of the compass in the center of the pattern where the lines cross each other, then open the compass till the pencil touches the center of each stud. Draw a circle with the compass. Then measure across the circle with a ruler. That measurement will be the bolt pattern. On a Taurus, it will be metric. On most other Fords with a 5 bolt pattern, the measurement is in inches usually 4 and 3/4"
