So, I'm looking to buy new wheels/tires for the Doom Buggy( https://www.snowandmud.com/forum/f133/well-side-side-65678.html#post1523977 ), And I'm not sure how to measure the bolt patterns on this Chinese POS frame, to cross reference to something decent......Do you go outside to outside of the studs, center to center? Chord(side by side bolts) or Diameter(farthest apart)? seems pretty simple...but, not for me I guess!

Dazzler - Yeah, it's a Buggy of Doom. See link in original post... Crappy Princess Auto go Kart front suspension and cab, Fox shocks and scrambler 400cc home made swingarm in the back....it's not safe at all, but it's insanely fun!!! Link:

So, if I measure center to center on the nearest bolts, I get nowhere near any other machine bolt pattern...if I do across the rim, I get outlander sizes on the back, and 112mm on the front....

someplace

I thought you went diagonally center to center but I'm no tire guy.

Measure them both ways and check a few other machines. Watch the off set too you might be able to get some width out of it or your tires might rub.

My bad, with with 4 bolt measure across diagonally. Could have sworn it was closest but hey I've been wrong once or twice before
