Wheel Mount Hole Measuring

[newkitman]

I have 15 inch, 4-bolt, stock VW wheels (rims). I know the hole spacing is 130 mm but how is that measured? I’m thinking center of one hole to the center of the next hole in line. Correct? Or is it from one hole to the one across from it? Thanks.

Measuring your Bolt Pattern

Measuring the 4, 6 and 8-bolt patterns: They are measured from the center of one lug hole to the center of the opposite hole.

Measuring a 5-bolt pattern: A 5-bolt pattern is very difficult to measure without using a bolt pattern gauge. Basically, you would measure the diameter of a circle that crosses through the center of the lug holes. This method is not recommended to confirm wheel fitment.

Thanks Roy. Totally not how I thought it was measured.
