Re: Bolt pattern question.

["Christian Els" <tian@usiw.net>]

When measuring the bolt pattern , it is the diameter of the circle all the
holes lie on that it measured, for example 4x100 is 4 holes on a 100mm
circle. With an even number of lug bolts you can just measure across
opposite sides, center to center (or top to top/bottom to bottom, whatever
is easiest...) to get the bolt circle.

On cars with odd numbers of lugs (e.g. VR-6 cars), there is a little math or
graphic aid involvement required.
