Without appearing pedantic (I hope!), its PCD not PDC.
From memory, it stands for Pitched Circle Diameter!

Bear in mind that the centre bore size may also be different.

Make sure that the bit you want to drill is as thick as where the original holes are - some alloys are thickened out around the holes.
Cheers

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

I wouldnt do it. I would get different wheels with the multiple PCD or ford PCD. The wheels are the first thing that will hit potholes, speed bumps
etc, and there is no give between the wheel and the hub.
Kindest Regards,
Richard.

Had a friend do it for some alloys for his corsa. Insurance companies wouldn't touch him because of it.
If you don't declare it then you might end up like the recent landy driver in the news!

Have you ever thought it might be easier to modify the hubs ?
also what size are the centre bores (ford are 63.4mm I think)

Re-drilling the hubs and fitting new studs has to be the way to go mechanically and cosmetically. A simpler job, but still best done with the correct
equipment.
