1984 Caprice Estate bolt pattern
Hello all,
I'm hoping that all of the wise people out there can clarify this. I just picked up a 1984 Caprice Estate and am in the process of cleaning it up to make a nice driver. In looking for wheels I've run into a roadblock. Everything that I've seen indicates that the wheel bolt pattern is 5 x 4.75. I got a set of 5 x 4.75 rallies and they just don't fit. I measured the studs and it looks like it's a 5 x 5 pattern. Am I measuring wrong or is it possible that this is a 5x5 bolt pattern, despite all of the info that seems to say otherwise?
Any insight is appreciated - thanks!

By rights, it should be the 5 X 5 lug pattern on a wagon. At least all of the full size 80's GM wagons I've ever seen have been.
Measuring the lug pattern on a 5 lug I usually go from center (skip a stud) to the outside of the stud, NOT center to center.
This has proven for me to be the most accurate method.
Hope this helps.
