| + | Often overlooked is the humble wheel bolt pattern gauge. Of the several different types available, the type that comes with the gauges on a large plastic ring may be cumbersome to use. It comes as a kit and has two separate rings, one is SAE, the other is metric, and the kit is expensive. | ||

| + | An alternative is part number 555-80850 available from Jegs (www.jegs.com) for less than $20.00 (shipping included). The tool works like a typical measuring caliper and measures both SAE and metric 4, 5, 6 and 8 bolt wheels. You place the points in the holes of the rims and read the corresponding chart on the tool. Or, you can place the flat pegs over the tips of the studs and read the supplied chart. The chart stays affixed to the tool, everything is self-contained. | ||
