4 1/4" bolt pattern???

Looking at a set of trailer wheels on clist. Owner swears they are 5 x 4 1/4 inch bolt pattern. 15 x 6". In searching I couldn't find anything on a 4 1/4 pattern. % on 4 1/2" yes. (What I'm looking for.) I've got the feeling that he is measuring wrong but he swears he knows what he is doing and the wheels won't fit his trailer that takes a 5 on 4 1/2" bolt pattern. Wheels are about 1 1/2 hrs away, might have to take a road trip.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Still think the guy is measuring them wrong. Might have to go look.

Well, ended getting the rims. for $110. They were 4 1/2" bolt pattern the guy didn't measure them right, even though I sent him a diagram. They are in real good shape. The holes where the lug nuts go don't even have any scratches.

A shame I'm going to paint them. Seems everyone is running white rims. Might go with a charcoal gray metallic.........................when I find some ambition..
