Stud Patterns & Bearings
HUBS
** When using 16” wheels on axles, you must be aware that the capacity of the axle is reduced by approximately 20%. **
1. The most common stud patterns are:
5 Stud Holden HT (7/16 inch)
5 Stud Holden HQ (Commodore) (7/16 inch)
5 Stud Ford (1/2 inch)
5 Stud Land Cruiser (9/16 inch)
6 Stud Land Cruiser (1/2 inch)
4 Stud Toyota or Datsun and Mini (7/16 inch)
2. Axles determine the bearing sizes, not the stud pattern. Below are the bearing details for the most common axle sizes. You can have any combination of Stud Pattern (above) with any bearing set (below). E.g. A Ford Stud Pattern Hub with Holden Bearings is very common.
