Bolt Pattern

[Plump]

Alright, I've tried Google, local shop, etc. and can't get a good answer. My wife organizes homes and we get to sell the stuff they get rid of (and get a % of the profit). One home had a stack of tires/wheels that they had from the previous owner and I'm trying to sell these puppies. Well, not knowing what they came off, I have no idea what the bolt pattern of the wheels are and, of course, this is pivotal to those interested in buying.

They are Niche wheels with some Yokohama Parada 17" tires. Can SOMEONE help me figure these suckers out so I can get them out of m garage?!?!!?

Couple of pix if it helps. Thanks!!!!!

PS: Anyone interested in SE Wisconsin, they're going cheap!

Might be very helpful to flip the wheels around so we can see the front too....

For a 5-lug, you measure from the center of one hole to the "back" of one of the holes furthest away.

Using the bolt holes pictured, measure from the center of one, to the outside of the other. Common domestic car bolt patterns are 4.5", 4.75", and 5".

Looks like 5x100, but hard to tell for sure in the pic. with a 5 lug the general rule is to measure from outside of one lug hole to the middle of an opposing hole. Offset is good to know as well but if they are 5x100 they won't fit many cars anyhow.

Looks a lot like 5x100mm to me too. Not sure what else uses those besides non-STi Subarus... but there's one possibility. They're usually pretty tight on offset though.

5x100 is VW as well.
5 x 4.5 is Ford
5x 114.3 is Mazda and many Asian mfgrs.

Centerbore, and offset is also important.

Offset should be stamped on the inner barrel of the wheel.

ETxx with ** being the ofset in mm

For dia size of pattern, it's based on the dia, of course:

Mayday, here is the front.

OK, so if I'm looking at this correctly, from the center of one bolt to an opposing bolt's back edge, it looks to be 4" or 102mm. What do you guys see? And thanks!

I didn't know how obtuse a measure job bolt pattern was until I had a set to sell that were 4.25/4.5.

Either post up as little as possible like most jacklegs on CL or find a 5x100 car to check them on.

Here is a database I have used in the past, it is nowhere near complete though:

Also,
I have been getting in the habit of marking things with a sharpie.
I have a set of wheels that I labeled with a sharpie as to what they go to.
I will be storing stuff at my dads soon, and labeling everything will help.

take one by a custom rim shop, or maybe even a car junkyard. they will likely be able to help you identify them.

Thanks everyone. Much appreciated.
