PCD notation
Stud patterns and PCD values are typically listed in this notation : 5x114.42. This means a 5-bolt pattern on an imaginary circle of 114.42mm diameter.

An image wrt circle that touches each stud , measure the diameter this is the PCD.
On a 4 stud hub or wheel you can measure diagonally across 2 from the centre of 2 studs
