5 lugs in a 4.5" circle. And I believe there is some mathematical formula that goes with it but who needs that. Haha.

And going back to your original request, here is mine on stock rims with 235's. I didn't use the stock rims when I upgraded to 31's.

It's not a 4.5" circle, it's a circle with a 4.5" diameter. If it were a 4.5" circle your bold pattern would be 5 x 1.4, hardly strong enough to use for anything other than a wheel-barrow lol.

You get this by measuring from the center of one hole to the distant edge of the hole across from it. On 4, 6, and 8 lug patterns you measure center-center of two opposing holes to get your diameter.

I think I may just bite the bullet and get the soft 8s then. I believe the center caps are just pushed in through the back of the wheel. If I bring them to Discount Tire and just said "hey here's the center caps, would you guys mind putting those on when you mount them?" do you think they would mind?
