SOURCE: Can I change my brakes to change my bolt pattern?

No
You will need to change the Hubs THEN the brakes to fit the hubs.
But changing the brakes only will NOT change the pattern

2010 Starcraft dual axle 19.6". What wheel type e.g. ford or Holden and type of bearings required e.g. ford or Holden

Measure the bolt pattern for the wheel. For example, for a 5 lug wheel, measure the distance from one lug to the second lug over, center of lug to center of lug. Next, what diameter are you needing, 13, 14, 15 inch wheels? Next, order the proper tire for the wheel.

Bolt pattern conversions
mm in
A bolt pattern or lug pattern is the diameter of a circle formed by the centers of the wheel lugs. Bolt patterns can be 4, 5, 6, or 8 lug holes. A bolt pattern of 4x100 would indicate a 4 lug pattern on a circle with a diameter of 100 mm. The bolt pattern is comprised of two numbers, the first indicates how many bolt holes are on the wheel, and the second describes how far apart they are. A bolt pattern of 5-115mm would mean the wheel has five bolt holes and they are 115mm apart (measured across the center of the wheel).

Offset

The lists of bolt patterns to the right includes OS (offset) information in the last two columns. The offset of a wheel is the distance from the mounting surface of the wheel to the true centerline of the rim. A positive offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is positioned in front of the true centerline of the rim / tire assembly. This in effect brings the tire in to the fender well more. Conversely, a negative offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is behind the true centerline of the rim / tire assembly. This will cause the tire to stick out away from the vehicle.
The bolt patterns are marked as either H, M, or L
H = High positive offset - FWD Typically +45, 40, 35 offset
M = Medium offset - RWD Typically +20 offset
L = Low offset - RWD Typically 0 offset

Dual bolt patterns


More often called "dual drilled", some manufacturers (usually cheaper ones) are building their wheels with two bolt patterns. This expands the number of fitments the wheel applies to. For example, a wheel with a 4-100/114.3 bolt pattern has 8 lug holes and will fit both 4-100mm and 4-114.3mm fitments. Without close examination, certain wheels can be mistaken for dual bolt pattern wheels, as some manufacturers will sometimes add a second set of holes only for aesthetics and weight savigs. The holes are often straight through and have no mating surface for the wheel lug nuts.

Centerbore

Centerbore relates to the center hole in the wheel that centers the wheel on the hub of the car. Since most wheels are mass produced, they have a large center bore to accommodate several different vehicles. If this is the case, it is recommended that a hub ring is used. Hub rings are hard plastic or metal ring that fits between the wheel and the vehicle. This centers the wheel perfectly on the hub ensuring that there is no run out when the wheel is installed on to the vehicle. Without hub rings it is possible to get vibrations even if the wheel / tire assembly is perfectly balanced.

How do I measure the bolt pattern for a 2005 dodge ram 1500

To measure the bolt pattern of any Rim for any vehicle
You measure from the center of the Stud across diaganally
to another stud and if that measure ment is 5 1/2 inches or
4 1/2 inches whatever the tape measure says then your bolt
Pattern is the number of Studs by the measurement which means for example 5 X 5.5 that's your bolt patter and if they ask for
hub that's the round center hole of the rim You measure from inside across to inside edges so if it's 4 inches that's your hub. good luck.

What is the best way to tell if wheel rims will work on my car?

Start with a tape measure and your eyes. How many bolts do the wheels on your car use? What's the distance between them?

Next, measure the distance from the back of the wheels to the inside of the rim and the width of the rim.

Compare these measurements to the wheels you're looking at....

I want to buy alloys but unsure of my stud pattern

Well if you are not sure about stud pattern then go for the multi-stud alloys which are the best option that fits most vehicles easily. Even you may ask the wheel dealer like wheels.net which has wide pattern of alloy wheels for nearly every specific car models. Also you can get application manual over the internet that will suggest you about bolt pattern, offset, size and many things about your car.

Will rims off my 99 wrangler fit on my 2000 olds bravada?

Take a tape measure and measure from the center of one hole in the rim to the one next to it. write that measurement down. Now measure from the center of one of your lug nuts on your bravada to the center of the lug nut next to it. If the measurements match exactly, the rims should fit.

Tire bolt size

I believe that is a 5x4.5 in pattern. To be sure take a tape measure and measure from the edge of one lug to the center of one of the opposite lugs. the bolt pattern is then in the format of (number of lugs x measurement between them) so in your case it will be a 5x(measurement)

Wheel interchange on astro and lumina sedan

They both should be the small chevy bolt pattern. Take a tape measure and measure across the lug nuts at a diagonal center to center on both. If they're the same, it will work.
