Wrong PCD??

Post by jags53 »

sorry if been asked many time but tried searching but couldnt find answer
i got some alloy but the bolts dont fit,one fits and the others are slighty off by a few mm's. the alloys are mille miglia 17" evo's 4 stud trying to fit on a 6n. im assuming i have the wrong pcd, but before purchasing them i checked which said they were 100x4.
im clueless at these things, the only thing i can think of selling them off or are there any other solutions any help would be appreciated, i read the fitment guide at tyresave also, but i cant workout why my wheels dont fit.

well i measured the wheel myself and it slightly different from 100mm maybe 108mm, so it is the wrong PCD, can anything be done about these, or am i going to have to sell the wheels off? i think that is ford fitment.

Put up a pic of the wheel and I'll tell you if there's something that can be done.

If there's a cap covering the holes you could redrill them. I wouldn't however- just sell 'em off and get some proper ones... Less hassle.

Look somewhere on the wheel, probably on the back of one of the spokes, it'll tell you the PCD. look for 100 or 108.

Sounds to me like you've got the wrong PCD.

i know nthey can be re-drilled just by looking at them a man in ana lloy shop said a spacer kit might work but he dont specialise in that the PCD is 108 (supposed to have been 100),so what are my chances with a spacer kit?

Adapters can work, but remember that even the thinnest adapters are about 20mm thick. That means they will lower the ET of the wheels (offset?) making them stick out more. If the wheels have a high ET, as in, 50 something, you can pull this off; there's enough room behind them to mount them on adapters.
