From: Him & Her on 11 May 2010 07:23 Interested in opinions as to how critical PCD is. If you've a PCD of 4 x 100 can you go to say 4 x 108 or even 4 x 110? -- Regards, "The car in front is a Toyota", aren't you glad it's in front?

Absolutely do not do it!! there is no room for manouevre on PCD unless the wheel is designed for it with slots instead of circular holes (rare) I once tried to use ford wheels on a fiat , the difference was only 2mm on the pcd and the wheel bolts went in, but the sideways strain on the studs was quite noticeable and I am certain that it would have resulted in breakage and wheel loss if I had driven far on it (I used the car for just a few laps in banger racing)
