why are my axles 5 on 4 1\4

[c00nhunterjoe]

The title says it, both axles are 5 on 4 1\4. Measured 100 times 50 different ways, both axles and front hubs are 4 1\4 bolt center. Straight edged and mic'd, nothing is bent. The old wheels that I thought were unilug are egged out with a dremel to fit.  So what the hell is on my car?

It's got to be 5 x 4½.

Are you measuring like this:

Brain fart...... screwed on rims....... was told when purchasing they were 4.5's and I assumed..... been too long to fight with the guy over it..... anybody looking for a set of 4 restored vectors, 15x8.5's 5 on 4.75?

Looked into spacer adapters, 1 inch thick is the thinnest and it will hit the panel, opinions on having holes machined?

I had a machine shop unilug 2 sets for me and have had no trouble with them. It did cost me about $200 to have 4 done, about the same cost as adapters.

Going to go for uniluging the wheels. There is no danger in doing this it seems ok in theory. I'm only removing 1\8 inch from each hole
