Alloy Wheel Technical Information
Bolt Pattern / Pitch Circle Diameter (PCD)
Bolt patterns usually identified with two numbers, with the first number showing the number of lugs (or wheel nuts), and the second showing the distance between those lugs (calculated at the farthest adjacent lug). Example of a common bolt pattern is 5×120 which translates to 5 lugs at 120mm apart from one another. Refer diagram below showing how to calculate the lugs distance for a 4 and 5 lugs wheel.
Wheel Rim Dimension
Rim dimension usually shown in the format of Width (inch) x Diameter (inch). An example of the rim size for a 2016 Holden Commodore 3.6 SIDI is 8Jx18 ET38. This translates to rim width of 8 inches at 18 inches in diameter. Letter J refers to the wheel mounting flange and common letter is J for most passenger cars and JJ on SUVs. ET38 shows that the rim has a positive offset of 38mm.
