how to find exact bolt pattern of a wheel (school me)

I was cleaning out a rental property and the tenants left some nice tires on 5 bolt wheels. Since they skipped out on rent and the deposit didn't cover the clean-up, the tires and wheels are mine. They are a street tire for a truck (scorpions) and some type of nice wheels. I think ebay might be needed or sel through craigs list. Unfortunatley I don't know what type of car or truck these fit on.

Anyway, I tried to stick the them on a jeep cherokee and the lugs didn't line up. Tried to stick them on my 97 f150 and the lugs almost lined up. Maybe they are a 5 on 5.5.

Anyway, without the wheel info anywhere on the wheels, what is the best solution for figuring out bolt pattern? where do I measure the tape measure from? do I measures from each of the farthest holes to the outside of the hole or is it from the center of the stud hole?

School me!
