Default What the hell is PCD in the world of wheels???

I have been asked what the PCD is on my wheels and thought it would be a good idea to ask my dealer and like me they dont know what PCD means or what it is on my car, so can anyone help please, its on an 06 WRX.
Cheers

pcd is the diameter of the invisible circle drawn through the centre of the wheel nut holes on your wheel / hub.

I know my 03 WRX is 100mm pcd and I believe the 06 STi as 114.3mm (or something like that!)

Not sure exactly what it stands for....pitch circle diameter?

On the 06 and 05 STI it is 5 x 113.5.
The rest are 5 x 100.

Hope this helps.

Don't you have an 06? I'm pretty sure you are 114.5 PCD.

And I am disappointed no-one used this as excuse for this for some better pics of the PCD's though.

Yes mate i have, but just been on the phone to Keith Price, the only dealer i can get any sence out of , and they tell me that the WRX is still 100 and the Sti has changed to 114.5. Cheers for the warning though.

New rims here i come, if luck is on my side i should be able to get them before the 5th
