How to measure your Nissan Altima bolt pattern
We already gave you the Nissan Altima bolt pattern, but every car owner should still be able to locate their own bolt pattern. Start by getting a ruler or measuring tape.
To determine the bolt pattern’s first number, count the bolts on the wheel. The second number is the distance you must measure from the hole's outer edge to the center of the opposite bolt. The diameter of the circle will fall in the middle of two bolts on the Altima due to it having an uneven five bolts. Easy solution: use the center of the nearest bolt as your measuring point.
The bolt pattern’s first number will be the number of bolts on your wheel, and the second number will be the diameter—and that’s it!
