5 lug

whats the difference between a 4 lug and a 5 lug. why are 5 lugs seem to be popular? just curious.

4 lugnuts, as in the nuts that hold on the wheel to the spindle. :dupe:

If you look at your wheel, you can see the bolt pattern. Honda originally used 4 lug in Preludes and many other older model cars, but now have switched over to the universal pentagonal 5 lug pattern that almost every car from every make uses nowadays. Apparently Honda owners were complaining that they can't find any wheels for their cars.
