THIS IS NOT FOR MY CAMARO.I have a 86 jeep cherokee and I need to find the bolt pattern for some after market rim's.Does anyone know how to do this.

88 Camaro IROC-Z
350TPI
K&N filter , High flow exgaust (no cat's), automatic tran's shift kit

 

Measure aross using the center of the studs. If you have a 4 bolt it's easy. You just measure across from one to the other.

If you have a 5 bolt then you need to measure one from the center of one, across to one of the other two. But then measure that one on the far, outside edge.

The measurements are actually taken from the diameter of the lugs by using the centers of the studs. If you want to be very precise, then you can use the back of one of the wheels and with a compass, draw a circle through all of the centers of the stud holes on the wheels.

Then if you measure the from the center of one hole, to the farthest spot of the cirle (directly between the two holes I mentioned earlier) then that will give you the exact diameter.

Now realize that you may need two different measurements. Millimeters and inches. Different wheel companies use either of the two. If you start by measuring inches, just multiply that by 25.4 to get millimeters.

EX.-- The Camaro has a 4.75" bolt pattern. If you multiply that by 25.4 you get 120.65mm. I know this is correct because I had a lot of trouble finding wheels with the inch measurement in the past for an S-10 I had.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

the bolt pattern for the jeep is 5 x 4.5" circle.as far as aftermarket wheels, they are stamped on the back of the wheel on the mounting flange area. but. yes what the guy said above is how to check.
