all A-body 8 3/4s are 4" bolt pattern unless it has had the axle redrilled or swaped to the large brake offset and 5 on 4.5 wbp like in the pic one stud to the other skipping one in the middle of the 2 what 8 3/4 you got? A? B? C? E? truck?

what is the 'correct" procedure? the tire shop uses a plastic deal that goes on the end of the stud across the axle flange and skips the one stud in the middle of the 2 like the tape in the pic..

Unless there are an even number of studs(2,4,6 etc), there is a little guessing involved, as the image is shown, you have to guess where the inside edge is of the opposing stud, which it does not have directly across from it, ya know?

For our 5 lug stuff, what OzHemi showed, just hook your tape over a stud & go to the middle of not the next stud but one more over.
