What size are my wheels?

[ehasler]

I've got a spare set of alloys for my Westfield that I don't need and want to sell, but I don't know what size they are (apart from the obvious 5.5 x 13").

Can anyone tell me what the key dimensions are, and whether they should be marked on the rims, or do I have to get my tape measure out?

Thanks

The PCD is an important feature (this is the measurement between the centre of 1 bolt hole and the 1 diagonally opposite). The information of "Ford fitment" is often enough for most people.....although the PCD would prove that Ford and Peugeot are interchangable to someone who didn't know.

Sorry, not quite true if it's 5 stud.

PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter) is the diameter passing through all the holes.
Place a piece of paper on the wheel and press your thumb gently against each hole to make a print on the paper. Draw a circle passing through all the markings (a paint tin or the like will help) and measure it's diameter.

In the case of an odd number of studs there obviously isn't a diagonaly opposite hole, but it is 100% true nonetheless.

These wheels are 4 spoke Ford fitment, but I was more concerned about the other dimensions, e.g., offset.

Would these normally be stamped on the wheel somewhere?

Let me know the info on the rims you are selling....

OK then, lets not forget about offset (which I daren't even start to explain)
