A 5 lug x 4-3/4" pattern has a measurement of 2-3/4" between the center of the 1st hole and the 3rd hole. A 5 lug x 4-1/2" pattern has a measurement of 2-5/8" from center of the first hole and the third hole. There is only 1/8" difference between the hole centers so I'd suggest you make a template as using a tape measure can be a bit iffy!!!!

I took some poster board and cut out a little template that I used to quickly check stud and hole patterns. Check pg 11 of my webshots for a pic. Hope this helps.
