How to find the size of a 3 lug tire?
How to find the size of a 3 lug tire?
The 3 Lug can be best described by imagining a virtual circle in the middle of the tire and drawing a radius that extends out and around the center of that virtual circle. The center of the three lugs will pass directly through the radius that was drawn. See picture above for a visual. An example measurement of a 3 Lug is 3/100.
What’s the lug pattern for an ATV tire?
Following the same pattern, there are 5 Lugs that get used in this pattern, each one placed around the virtual circle. Imagine a line that is tangentially touching the virtual circle but goes from the back of one lug directly to the center of the lug across from it.
What’s the difference between 3 lugs and 100 lugs?
The three stands for “3 Lugs” and the 100 stands for the radius, in millimeters (mm), from the center virtual circle. The 4 Lug follows the same concept as the name implies by utilizing 4 Lugs and uses the virtual circle in the middle.
How are the lug holes laid out on an ATV?
The 4 lugs are layed out around the virtual circle in a square shape and the center of the two lug holes directly across from each other pass through the center of the virtual circle. See picture above for visual.
How many lug holes are in a wheel pattern?
Wheel Bolt Pattern is the measured diameter of an imaginary circle formed by the centers of the wheel studs or bolt holes. Common bolt patterns have 4, 5, 6, or 8 lug holes, while less common have 3, 7, or 10 lug bolt patterns.

How do you measure a 5 lug wheel?
Wheel Bolt Pattern Guide The easiest way to estimate the 5 lug bolt pattern, is to measure from the back of a hole to the center of the second hole. For a 4 lug wheel, measure center to center of two holes directly across from each other. Measuring a 6 bolt wheel requires you to measure center to center of two holes directly across from each other.
The 3 Lug can be best described by imagining a virtual circle in the middle of the tire and drawing a radius that extends out and around the center of that virtual circle. The center of the three lugs will pass directly through the radius that was drawn. See picture above for a visual. An example measurement of a 3 Lug is 3/100.
How to measure an 8 lug bolt pattern?
To measure an 8 lug bolt pattern, measure center to center of two holes directly across from each other. No need to guess any longer! Speedway Motors has a precision bolt circle template that simplifies the most common 5 lug patterns for you. Our bolt circle template and our Wheel Bolt Pattern Tool are must have tools for the shop or swap meet.
