Hi , I have a dilemma. Im currently trying to sell some alloys I have ( Team dynamics drifz which are multi fit) I know one of my fitments is 5x100 but I need to work out the second.
Is this calculation correct to work out the other pcd set up ??

5-stud - Length 'X' x 1.7012 - Length 'x' represents measurment between top bolt hole to next hole centre

cheers

Think of it this way, the PCD is the Pitch Centre Diameter of the wheel fixing bolts, so if you take a line from the centre of the "hub hole" and measure out to a wheel fixing hole, then this will be half the PCD - so multiply that value by two. I have not read the previous posting's link, but, to fully describe a wheel, you need to quote its diameter, the ET or offset of the hub mounting plane to the centre of the rim (inner to outer), next is the bore or centre hole diameter followed by the PCD and maybe the actual form of the rim - ie J or ?
