Wide 5 wheels are very easy to identify, because of the extremely large five lug bolt pattern-10-1/4 inches to be exact. Also remember that the 5x5-1/2-inch pattern was common for early Fords, ranging from 1928 to 1948, with the exception of "wide 5" hubs, which were only available from 1936 to 1939.

The small pattern, again, was mainly used for mid-size and full size passenger cars starting in 1949, such as Fairlane, Galaxie, Torino and more, while the larger 5x5-1/2-inch pattern was used for light trucks. When it comes to Ford wheels (including Mercury and Lincoln), it also comes down to two common five lug bolt patterns, 5x4-1/2 and 5x5-1/2, although Ford did produce a few passenger cars with 5x5-inch bolt pattern. The larger pattern was used for light trucks, as well as many full size cars in the Buick, Oldsmobile and Pontiac lines. The smaller pattern is extremely common, as Camaro, Corvette, Chevelle and many more GM makes and models featured the 5x4-3/4-inch pattern. For instance, General Motors wheels had two common bolt patterns, 5x4-3/4-inch and 5x5-inch. The five lug pattern remains a common trait for passenger cars and light trucks, even in modern automobile manufacturing, but every company has a different approach. In most cases, American automobile manufacturers used a five lug bolt pattern, starting in the late '20s.
