Helpful Expert Reply:
I have not heard of a 5 on 4.3" hub cover, so I believe that there might be some incorrect measuring. Using the guide attached, I recommend re-measuring your wheel bolts. I believe you have 5 on 4-1/2" as that is the most common, however if you measure:
-2 5/8", then you have a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern,
-2 3/4", then you have a 5 on 4-3/4 bolt pattern,
-3", then you have a 5 on 5 bolt pattern,
Or
- If you measured 3 1/4", then you have a 5 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern.
