BOLT CIRCLE:
Diameter of a virtual circle passing through the center of all bolt holes.


Examples:

4-LUG BOLT PATTERN


Common Sizes:
  • Light Duty American Hubs, measurement "A" = 2-13/16''
  • Heavy Duty American Hubs, measurement "A" = 4''.
  • Heavy Duty Metric Hubs, measurement "A" = 110mm or 115mm


3-LUG BOLT PATTERN (Racing)


  • American, measurement "A" = 2-1/2''
  • Metric, measurement "A" = 58mm

Bolt to Bolt Measurements for 3-Lug Bolt Patterns



A= Bolt to Bolt (center to center)
B = Bolt Circle

Formula to figure 3-Lug Bolt Circle:

  • Bolt to Bolt (center to center) divide by (.864) = Bolt Circle
    example 2.16"/ .864 = 2.50"
