My car is a 4 lug, 93 5.0 LX.

just measure your bolt pattern

that means the wheel will fit two different bolt circles, one at 4.5" and a second at 4.75". to measure the bolt cirlce on a 4 lug wheel, you just measure the center to center distance between two lugs on opposite corners from each other. the way they express the lug pattern is the number of lugs first followed by the diameter of the bolt circle, i.e. 5 x 4.5 means 5 lugs on a 4.5" bolt circle.
you also need to know the backspacing and offset on a wheel to make sure it can fit on a given car too, so ask about this too before buying anything.

whatsamatta u? you can't count to 4 or 5 and use a ruler?? LOL this is one question I just refuse to answer for you!

bobby

LOL, i know i have 4 lug, what i mean is how do you measure? diagnally?

roundman

diagonally, yes! I think it's 4.5" but don't quote me on that. been a while since I needed to know this and can't hold but a limited amount inside my feeble little brain anymore. LOL
