PDC, Offsets and bore ???

[chris6210]

Hi could someone please explain what the PDC, Offset and Bore are in laymans terms?

The reason I ask is I am looking at some alloys and they are advertised as Clio Fitment PDC 4 x 100 (as required) but looking on here http://www.wheelfitment.net/renault
The offset would be OK but the bore is not 60.1 as stated on the site it is 56.1? I assume they won't fit ! Am I correct ?

TIA.

They would need to be machine to get to fit.

The centre bore is how big the hole in the middle of the wheel is to sit over the spigot, if this is too small, then it wont fit over the spigot at all and wont fit, although if it is to big, you can get spigot rings which allow you to fit them.

PCD is the type of fitment and pattern (i.e clio is 4x100, which I think means 4 stud being 100mm apart? correct me if im wrong etc)

And offset is how far the wheels will stick out of the arches (e.g the lower the offset, the more the wheels will stick out of the arches)

If any of this is wrong, I apologize, and I need sleep lol

As above.

PCD stands for Pitch Circumference Diameter, and Pussy Cat Dolls.
