Hey guys, Kirk here, custom offsets custom, offset TV, um YouTube, welcome to another episode of I, never knew today we're going to talk about bolt pattern.
101 I'm, going to give you a quick rundown on things that are.
We get a lot of questions about for customer service emails, calls and things that people are just confused about.
So we're going to run through a few different wheels here, a few different styles and hopefully I'll help.
You understand what to bolt pattern is and what you might receive when you get your wheels and tires, let's go into Windows.
The top of this double talk out back.
If we doesn't get it very much so cleaning up woman.
Now we never boldface.
Are you putting it ready to take in justification? Alright? So when you're on custom, Office website and you're, looking through all the wheels, you pick a wheel, even even if you pick a wheel and tire package, you scroll down to the bottom and you'll, see it in red it'll say: let's say you have a Chevy 1500, it will say six by five point: five and it will be bolded in red.
Next, to that, you might see that six by 135 is also selected.
What that means is that is a dual drilled wheel, and in this case this is a five lug dual drilled wheel.
The 6 lug is over there, but as a covered center cap.
We'll get to that point later, but the point of this matter is with alloy wheels.
Manufacturers don't make two molds for both wheels, that's too expensive for them, so what they did is they made it to bolt pattern's.
So in this case this is 5 on 150 and 5 on 5 and a half, so this will fit some toyota tacomas and also Ram 1500s, and what that does.
Is that eliminates part numbers? It eliminates mistakes and it saves money.
So this manufacturer made a dual drilled: five lug wheel and what they'll be able to do with that is.
They can sell this to two different vehicles.
Now it seems a ton of time and a ton of money.
The big misconception we get is I ordered.
Ok, let's go back to the Chevy, so I'll ordered for my 2015 Chevrolet, 1500 and I know.
I have six on five and a half bolt pattern, and your website said six on one 39.7 you're sending me the wrong wheels.
No we're not it's the same thing.
What some manufacturers do is they use inches instead of millimeters or millimeters or inches, so essentially, a lot of Chevy's there's really no rhyme or reason to it.
But Chevy is six on five and a half in inches and millimeters.
Obviously, at six on six by one thirty-nine point: seven well as Ford six log you'll see is listed as six by 135 instead of six by I.
Believe it's five point: three inches.
It's just an easier way to keep things designated and it's easier for manufacturers and people to understand to differentiate between the two in some cases, there's no rhyme or reason why it isn't inches.
But in most cases it's just because it's easier in Ford's case eight on one 70 I.
Personally, don't off the top my head and know what that is in inches, but it's it's a decimal where it doesn't make sense.
So it's easier to say eight on one.
Seventy! So, in this case, like I said, this is five on one fifty and a five on five point: five.
So in you're mounting your wheels up and it's not fitting- don't worry test the other set of holes.
It will fit if you're still having fitment issues, don't try to force it on a wheel should never be having to force on shoot us an email.
Give us a call and we'll check.
The part number send us a picture if you're worried, we'll check it and then we'll make you sure, and if you're really worried a kid switch to the back side.
I'll show you the front to measure your bolt pattern.
It's very simple in this case it's a dual five lug, so you go directly across from each other.
You go from the center of the far right corner to the center of the far across corner and measure this distance.
This will give you the second portion of your bolt pattern.
So in this case five on five and a half, it means it's a five lug five and a half inches across, and that gives me Ram 1500 bolt pattern.
In the case of five on 150, if you're measuring the second bolt pattern, that would be 150, millimeters and whatever that would equivalent to in two inches, so that should help you understand that portion and to jump next I'll get into why some have a covered center caps, while some don't so.
In this case this does have a center cap, but we kept it off for the purpose that we have a dual six lug wheel right here.
99% of your few wheels I'm looking just like this they'll have a covered Center cap and you won't be able to see anything and if I took that cap off, it would look just like this.
There would be 12 holes, obviously, instead of 10, because that is a dual six lug and it'll be all covered up.
A lot of the new wheels are coming out with exposed lug nuts, because spike lugs are the cool thing to do, and you might be wondering why does all of American force wheels had exposed lug nuts? That is simply because they're forged every wheel is custom made per order.
So it's not a mold.
This cast wheel is poured into a mold, and here you go now it's a la wheel and there's less part numbers dual drill, all custom-built, so they custom make them per order per bolt pattern per size for everything.
So that's why they're exposed- and this is when you'll be able to run the spike lug nuts, where on neither of these wheels you can it just wouldn't look very good, because you'll have an extra extra, five or six or even eight holes.
Then you make dual drilled.
Eight lug wheels pretty rare, but there are a couple of companies that do make them so another quick question: we always anti run spike lug nuts.
On my dual drilled, 6 lug, 5, lug, 8, lug wheel.
You can it just wouldn't look that good, because you would see the other five or six or eight holes so I hope this explanation, kind of wraps up the difference between inches and millimeters and bolt patterns and helps you measure.
So if you get them and you try to put them on and the shop doesn't know why they're not fitting it.
Just might me that they've never seen a dual drilled bolt pattern, try the other set of holes and, if you're still having issues, let us know and we'll be here to help so there's anything else that I missed or anything you want to see in the next video.
Let us know and we'll be here to help otherwise see you next time.
