      Bolt Pattern Links/Sites?

      Does anyone know of a website that will tell you the bolt pattern on any given make/model? Just curious...

      They are pretty standard. GM uses the 5X4.75 for pretty much every car they ever built from about 1955 or so. Fullsize cars and light trucks use 5X5. Ford and Chrysler use the 5X4.50 pattern for 90% of their fleet. The newer stuff gets complicated as we add the metric system to totally **** up an otherwise easy system to follow.

      Most wheel sites will tell you what patterns fit what cars.

      Thanks for the reply d68. I am very familiar with Ford and Chevy bolt patterns-and most RWD Dodge stuff. I should have been more specific about why I needed the link. I'm considering purchasing a super low mile '93 Plymouth Acclaim for less than a grand. In addition to it being a screamin' deal, it would allow me to move up my '78 Camaro PT project start date significantly. (It's hard to completely dissasemble a car when you drive it every day.) Now, as plain jane as the Acclaim is, I do happen to have a couple gallons of BMW Titan Silver. And if I knew what bolt pattern the wheels were, I could look for a cheap set of black center/polished rim wheels to bolt on. I can't measure the bolt pattern on the car because it's a 6-hour drive from me. So basically- I want to know what the bolt pattern on a Plymouth Acclaim is. Thanks again d.

      How about differances in hub register size? That can be a real shock when you go to put on a new rim and the center register on the axle is larger then that of the rims.

      You do not have to answer every question dennis, we all appreciate your input and often you make solid points, but sometimes it can be a little overwhelming.

      Q great link.

      Not the best one I've seen, but....

      Edit- '93 Acclaim = 5x100mm
