1965 Delta88 wheel stud pattern

Been told 2 different things by 2 different suppliers.

Can anyone confirm if they are 5x5 or 5x4.75 ??

Without taking the wheel off, it looks looks like it measures 4.75 but hard to tell.

thanks

EXCEPT for the 64-66 Jetstar 88 (and some 77-85 cars), the B-body and C-body cars used a 5 x 5" bolt circle. The Jetstar 88 used the A-body 5 x 4.75" bolt circle and smaller brakes. This is the source of the confusion.
