    The bolt pattern looked a little big in the pics, but I didn't want to sh!t in anybody's lunchbox.
    They are good looking wheels and you shouldn't have any problem getting rid of them. Are you sure they're not 5 on 5"?

    Best advice i could give / in measuring wheel pattern bolt holes = get a set of different pattern gagues from summitt - wont lead you wrong-Im still betting 5 x 4 3/4 size - 5/8 is very odd??
