Wheel bolt pattern
From Crankshaft Coalition Wiki
[edit] Measuring bolt pattern or bolt circle
Pitch circle diameter or P.C.D. is the same term as bolt pattern, it can be measured in mm or inches. PCD can be found on any wheel by measuring from the center of the wheel to the center of the wheel hole and multiplying by two. Or, by measuring across two bolt holes from the center of the bolt hole to the center of the other bolt hole.
If you were to see an advertisement for wheels that reads; 5 X 4.75 this would mean the following:
The wheels had 5 - five studs or holes
4.75 - the PCD was 4.75 inches or 120.65mm
and more than likely would fit your Chevy passenger car.
Typically, a wheel bolt hole measuring tool would be the most accurate to measure with but an ordinary tape measure either in inches or mm will get you by. Just remember the two ways of measuring as detailed above. Four bolts are usually measured across from bolt hole center to bolt hole center. Five bolt holes as stated above. Six or eight bolt patterns are usually wheel center to bolt hole center times two.
Here is a list of common bolt patterns in standard (inches) and metric (mm)
