   Hi,
   
   Am trying to get my head round PCD and offset etc...
   Basically am changing my alloys and wondered if anyone could clear it up for me (it simple terms would be appreciated...).
   Alloys ive seen on ebay are 4/100?????
   
   Cheers

   pcd (pitch circle diameter) is the distance between opposite wheel bolts, on a wheel with a pcd of 4x108 this distance is 108mm with the 4 being the number of bolts.
   saxo pcd is 4x108, with an offset of between 15 and 18mm.

   forget it mate, spacers only make a difference to the offset, the pcd is wrong so the bolts wont line up.
