not really a fab question but the bolt pattern on most is 10" x 4.5"
as far as actual winch size i think itll depend on which one you get they all differ alittle there is a chart on here some where if you search
one chart for winch ratings and another drawing of a few different winchs with sizes

Smittybilt XRC 10
Mounting points- 10" x 4.5"
Approximate winch size- 21.5" x 6"
I'd have to take apart the brush guard on my bumper to get exact measurements for the winch itself, but the mounting hold are from the center of the bolts.

You can go to every winch manufacturer and they give exact dimensions and technical drawings for all their winches. I found that out when I was gonna start building winch bumpers.
