verify small bolt pattern ?

[CdnValiant66]

I have read the forums about SBP being 4" and LBP 4.5".

I have measured the wheel studs on my 66 Valiant at 3.75" center-to-center

Can someone verify that I've done this properly and that it is in fact SBP?

thanks

Hook your tape to the outside of 1 stud. Skip 1 stud. Measure to the center of the 3rd stud and you will know sor sure. The one in the pic is 5x4.

If you put one stud at 12 o'clock, and then measure from outside to inside of the two studs just below, that will give you the bolt circle. An easier way would be to buy a 5 buck plastic piece that has from 4" to 5 1/2", most tire and wheel suppliers have. I hope this helps.

Yup 5 on 4" in that picture.

The 4" is the bolt circle, so you would have to measure strait across to an invisable circle line between the two lug nuts to get a perfect 4" center too center measurement.

if you drew a 4" diameter circle and held it up, the outside edge would hit the center of every stud. That is how it is properly measured. You can measure by skipping one stud but it is not an exact measurement... the 5 on 4" means 5 holes on a 4" circle....
