   5 holes/studs, equally spaced,  on a 4 3/4" basic circle.
  A GM standard for cars with 5 lugs for decades before and hence. Except for 
the newer FWD cars...
In your case, the standard bolt pattern on large =and= small cars with 5 
holes/lugs are the same...my 72 Chevy truck, on the other hand, is 5 
holes/lugs on a 5" basic circle...Some of the 70's and 80's big GM cars also 
use this pattern...if I could have found a fourth, I could be running =real= 
Cadillac "wire spoked" wheels on my truck..
