Sometimes trying to be brief or with holding information in an attempt to sneak something through (car questions) can come back to bite your backside. To provide more information as far as your question goes............. the bolt pattern will be the same. Center hole and offset/back spacing is still a question the buyer will want answered. Good luck with your sale.

Some things they take for granted and think everyone knows it already. Try this info on how to measure wheel bolt circle. https://www.etrailer.com/faq-wheel-bolt-pattern.aspxThe center hub hole is also important and it's diameter should be measured and compared to the buyers hub. Also the bolt hole diameter. Don

There are some online, or like new from wheelcollision.com

The only sticking point might be back spacing that could interfere with steering tie rods or the drag link. Inside diameter of the wheel barrel might also come into play, affecting brake drum clearance so do some measuring other than just the bolt circle.
