I'm potentially needing to verify 5x100 vs 5x114.3 patterns when looking at wheels with no vehicle present. It would be nice to also catch 5x114.3 vs 5x115
For trailers I've got the plastic disc and it's nice but you still need to be fairly conscientious about lining up the holes (obviously)
I stumbled upon this gauge from Jeg's that drops into two adjacent holes and has a vernier scale of sorts. Has anyone used this style? Other suggestions?
As a machinist I'm rarely without calipers but if you've tried that you understand the reach is often not long enough and a 6" caliper is often too long to practically fit WITHIN many wheels. The Jeg's piece seems to address a lot of that w deeper reach and a stubby design
edit: and it will engage studs for when there is a hub but NO WHEELS present
I'm certainly open to other suggestions!
