One of the goofiness aspects of measuring 5-lug patterns - you go from the edge of one hole to the middle of an opposite hole - just like your tape - which is reading 5.5"-ish because it still ain't perfect (you're not really measuring fully across the diameter of the bolt circle unlike an even lug pattern 4,6,8) - make sense? Or did I confuse you more?

looks like early Ford...
