#1 Simplest way is to buy a bolt gauge from a hardware store or online.
Example:

#2 Next method is to see if you or someone you know ever purchased an assortment of nuts and bolts from a hardware store that has labeled drawers. Take nut from the labeled drawer and match it up.
#3 You can make your own bolt gauge if you own a set of drill bits. Drill holes in sheet metal or wood and label the holes. Push the bolt in the holes till you find a fit. This will not give you the thread pitch though which you usually need for a mating nut.
#4 If you have a set of wrenches that are the size of the bolt threads match them up until you find a fit. You probably do not have wrenches that small though. I assume it is a small bolt.
#5 Use calipers to gauge the diameter and place the gauge reading on an accurate ruler. This will not give you the thread pitch either.

"M8" refers to the diameter of a metric bolt, where "M" stands for metric and "8" represents the diameter in millimeters. This measurement helps in selecting the correct size of nuts or washers to use with the bolt.
What is a bolt in terms of measurement?
A bolt is a type of fastener that typically has a threaded shaft and a head on one end. In terms of measurement, a bolt is often sized by its diameter, length, and thread pitch. The diameter is the width of the bolt shaft, measured in inches or millimeters.

Stress on minor diameter of bolt when bolt is subjected to longitudinal force?
The stress on a bolt under longitudinal force is the total force on the bolt divided by the stress area. The stress area is a little bigger than the minor diameter area, calculated from the average of the minor diameter and pitch diameter. The total force on the bolt is its torque preload plus the (bolt stiffness/(bolt +member stiffness) x (externally applied load )
How do you measure lug patterns?
On a five bolt pattern measure from outer edge of one bolt then across to the middle of another skipping one bolt hole( not quite the diameter). On six or four bolt patterns measure across from bolt center to bolt center as you would the diameter if it were a circle.
