How do I know what my PCD is?

Is the PCD marked on a wheel?

PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter)

Is the diameter of the circle formed by the holes on your wheels in millimeters. They are usually written in the hundred or near the hundred beside the number of holes such as: 4×100, 4×120.

Where is the PCD on a wheel?

The P.C.D. of any wheel or hub with an even number of holes can be measured from the inside of one hole directly across to the outside of the hole opposite.

How do you know if your car is PCD?

The easiest way calculate the PCD is as follows: 1) Measure the distance 'S' between two adjacent studs from the centre of each hole. **Note: on 4 lug fitments you can measure from the center of one stud to the center of the stud directly opposite.

Is PCD the same as bolt pattern?

Definition & Description. The bolt pattern of a wheel is the layout of the mounting holes. A wheel's bolt pattern can also be called its "Bolt Circle" or "Pitch Circle Diameter (PCD)". Bolt pattern is expressed as the number of lugs by the diameter of the imaginary circle formed by the center of the lugs.

What is a PCD on alloy wheels?

WHAT IS A WHEEL PCD? On any trailer wheel assembly or rim, the PCD is the diameter of the circle which passes through the centre of all the wheel bolts or wheel rim holes. The center of every bolt hole lies along the edge of the pitch circle and are evenly spaced.

What does 4x100 PCD mean?

The 4x100 Bolt Pattern or Pitch Circle Diameter (PCD) is made up of the stud count (4) and the bolt circle measurement (100), the notional circle determined by the center position of the studs. The 4x100 bolt pattern is common to Acura, Alpine, Aston Martin, Audi, BAIC, BMW and BMW Alpina vehicles.

How do I find my PCD flange?

MEASURING A STANDARD FLANGE

One of the most important measurements is the Pitch Circle Diameter (PCD) which can determine if the flange bolt holes will match each other. Measure across the centre from one side of the internal hole to the opposite side of the hole.

What is a stud pattern PCD?

Bolt pattern or Pitch Circle Diameter (PCD) is the diameter of an imaginary circle formed by the centers of the wheel lugs. Bolt patterns can be 4-, 5-, 6-, or 8-lug holes. A bolt circle of 4×100 would indicate a 4-lug pattern on a circle with a diameter of 100mm.

What does 6j mean on wheels?

It means your wheels are 6" wide, where the tyre sits. The 7" will be lip to lip. I'd put 175/50-13s on them.

Can you fit wheels with different PCD?

A multi-pcd wheel can fit on two or more cars having different PCDs. For Eg: An alloy-wheel that supports 114.3 PCD and 100 PCD has eight holes on it and is said to be of dual-PCD type.

Will a 4x100 fit a 4x108?

Q: My bolt pattern is 4x100 and the wheel i want to put on my car are 4x108 will these fit? A: Yes.

What does PCD 114 mean?

pcd is the distance between the farthest bolts in millimeters (mm). this is part of the bolt pattern. when it says 4x100, that's 4 holes with 100pcd. usually big sedans to bigger vehicles have 114pcd. small sedans and smaller vehicles have 100pcd.

Can you change the PCD on a car?

There is no way of canging a car's PCD. Unless you want to ruin it! You're right, the way to do it is by using an adapter...it is also a spacer. spacers as such are common.

Can I put any size alloys on my car?

Every vehicle has a compatible rim width range (not a fixed width). For example: Audi A3 2002 has an offset range between 6J and 8.5J, as long as the rim width is within that range, the alloy wheels will be fully compatible.

What is the most common 5 lug bolt pattern?

The most common 5 bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2. However, 5 bolt patterns also come 5 on 4-3/4, 5 on 5, and 5 on 5-1/2. It is important to know the bolt pattern before you buy new wheels to ensure a proper fit.

Do 5 lug universal rims fit all cars?

No, there is no such thing as a universal wheel. Numerous factors come into play when deciding what wheels can go on your vehicle. Two of the most critical factors are the wheel's diameter and width. Every car will have a range of wheel diameter sizes of several inches that will securely and adequately fit.

What is 5x114 bolt pattern?

The 5x114. 3 Bolt Pattern or Pitch Circle Diameter (PCD) is made up of the stud count (5) and the bolt circle measurement (114.3), the notional circle determined by the center position of the studs. The 5x114.3 bolt pattern is common to Acura, Alpine, Aston Martin, BAIC, BYD, Baojun and Changan vehicles.

What is 5x120 bolt pattern?

The 5x120 Bolt Pattern or Pitch Circle Diameter (PCD) is made up of the stud count (5) and the bolt circle measurement (120), the notional circle determined by the center position of the studs. The 5x120 bolt pattern is common to Acura, BMW, BMW Alpina, BYD, Bentley, Buick and Cadillac vehicles.
