All Magnums are 4 1/2". I have never seen one that was small bolt.

That looks like the correct method, from far side of one hole, to the middle of one two holes away.
That said, 4 1/4 is a real odd pattern. I don't know why it's off.
Do you get the same results at two different holes?

Yeah, i'm trying to figure out what they might fit. I bought a set of magnum 500's and two of them are correct 4.5 spacing (i have b bodies) but the other two are this strange pattern. Measured multiple holes. It's too bad because they're brand new never mounted 15x7 magnum 500s.

Odd bolt pattern is probably why they were never mounted!

Half fast research says 4 1/4 pattern on late 80s-late 90s T-b8rds and Lincolns. I have NOT confirmed.

Oh, and also late thirties REO pickups, lol.

And Volvo's.

Mark 8s, Mike (VIII). Agree, stupid Ford. (Using Volvo parts? Didn't Ford own Volvo for a while?, lol)

Before we bash Ford....

5x4" for A bodies
5x4.5" for everything else

They could have saved money on parts by keeping everything. 5x4.5"

5 on 5 for Imperials, and some c-bodys.

The A-body compact series was 80+% about saving weight, not $$$, it added up. If You got an early-A base model, You could easily strip it down & have it within 100# of one of My Omnis.

Mark VIII's, or Mark 8's. All the T-birds Cougars & Marks w/the IRS have that odd Volvo pattern, the Marks had Al-U-minimum lower rear arms & active airbag suspension, T-birds & Cougars had heavy cast iron arms & coils.

That's the one I took out of a V-8 T-bird, iron 8.8 3.27:1's & whatever limited slip name they used, I just broke it down last summer. Just the subframe & arms alone were 120#...
