Any clues for 4" PCD?
marcjagman - 19/7/02 at 09:55 PM

I need some wheels with a PCD of 4" (104mm) that are 4 stud, any one got any ideas?

Not a perfect answer but thought this might be helpful http://www.tyresave.co.uk/fitment.html - Can't see anything on there for your PCD, sure you got it measured right?

I just had a look at the 2 sites I know of ...

http://www.moddedcars.com/styling/wheels.htm
and the one mentioned previously and I can't see any mention of 104 PCD. What axle/stubs are you using?

Whoops!!!!!! 100mm PCD (Vauxhall) to answer questions on what I am using...........a Bedford HA van (don't laugh too loudly) because 1) cheap to buy, 2) cheap road tax, 3) low compression (7.3:1) so I can stick a turbo on it 4)can use front suspension as it has a leaf spring going across the front and is easy to mount, 5)already has front wishbones etc which due to design are easy to attach to chassis.

Sounds like an old Marina or similar fitting. I had a HA Viva years ago in the 70's. I reckon it had drum brakes on the front though.

Not to sure how accurate the info from the above site is because they say the TVR cerbera has 4 studs, my cerbi wheels have 5 studs?

In case you are not aware....

its not just the PCD that matters.

Wheels also have a 'stagger' - dont know correct term - that is the distace from the rim to the mounting flange of the wheel. If you have the wrong stagger it might go on the studs, but hit the calipers.

I think the term you are looking for is offset...

I had a bit of a stagger last night and got the frying pan in my ear for my trouble....no don't go there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had similar questions 10 threads down (can anyone identify these) about offset and its implications. Rorty set me straight about scrub radius - Thanks Rorty. Take a look at his site and all is explained www.rorty.vze.com

I nearly dropped a bollock and got the wrong wheels and upset my handling

There are few cars that carry a 4" PCD the most common ones are the viva, morris minors, Austin A30/35 and A40 Farina and mini / metro's. There is not much else. What you can get though are minilights to suit this stud pattern. Also you can get Centreline copies and slot mags.

Hope this is a bit of help.

If 4" pcd is viva then you can get revolutions and minilights to fit as thats what we use on our race Firenza..
