Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

              • Yep, there are only VERY FEW sets around that are 5x100, and I have one of them. I measured it last night and it's definitely a 100mm diameter. You measure it from the centre of one of the stud holes straight across to where the centre of another stud would be on the other side right (5 stud so it's sort of a guestimate where the hole would be - but it was definitely heaps less than 114.3)? You don't measure it from the outer edge of the stud hole do you?

                  • This is what I found....and this is what I measured to be 100mm, so I'm positive they are.

                    The X marks what not to measure.

                          No, the X marks what not to measure! you don't measure the distance between each stud hole. The distance between each stud hole is only about 60-70mm for a 5x100 wheel. You measure the whole way across the stud pattern, which is why its called PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter).

                          Think of a Porsche PCD being 5x130. Can you imagine a 130mm gap between each stud .....thats huge!

                          Here is another diagram of how to measure PCD shaneth...

                          • Finally took out the unsightly blue brake ducting that i had been using as an air trumpet, and installed Seat piece.

                            Looks nice and stock.

                            Cheers gti dave
