    Good posts, GC, but perhaps you’d tell the rest of us what on Earth you’re talking about?

    No MM. But if you read the thread you will see that Tinwheeler asked what PCD meant. <extending middle finger smiley>

    I was pointing out in, perhaps, a somewhat convoluted way that talking in code is a bit self defeating. 

    Why all the tweeting stuff? It’s confusing as is talking about PCD without explaining. How much better it would have been if the OP had said he wanted to, say, change the wheels on his van but couldn’t work out which replacements would fit.  Someone may have had the exact answer.

    Quite agree, not enough info in the question.

    If the wheels are on the OP's van then a quick measure between studs/holes would enable the PCD to be worked out along with the other info needed, either on paper or an online calculator.

    You're assuming that the caravan is at home  ..... it might be miles away in storage.

    Must be a Jeep owners sense of humour lornalou wink

    All I wanted to know is what is the PCD (pitch circle diameter) of my late model Sprite/Swift wheels. There was two choices, 

    122mm 

    Or 112mm 

    it's not just a question of just measuring across the studs.

    I am going to make ( see over engineer) a pair of winter wheels, and to save a bit of head scratching I just thought I'd throw the question out there. And again tried to inject some humour into my posts but obviously not very well received. frown

    There’s a difference between humour and causing confusion.

    It’s not a great idea to put people down when you’re asking for advice or help - something I’ve given you plenty of in the past.

    As I said earlier, measure between the centre of two studs/holes (assuming its not in storage miles away from home)

    If its a 5 stud wheel then divide that figure by 0.5878 to get the PCD and if its a 4 stud wheel then divide the figure by 0.7071.

    You put down all of us by implication, GC. 

    As tor clarity in your posts, if you cannot see the lack of it, there’s nothing I can say.

    What an interesting but unusual thread. A member asks a straightforward question and the thread is taken, by the thread spoilers, in the usual direction which most threads go on this forum. 

    Sorry GC I personally don't have the answer to your question, but I do hope that somebody will help you.

    No wonder so many posters give up and find other forums.

    wink

    OK, I was going to leave it be but since you want to make an issue of it, why do you assume people on this forum understand PCD? This is not a technical or engineering based forum and it could be said that it’s rather arrogant and rude to talk about something others may not understand without clearly explaining what it is.

    Then there was all the tweeting which left several of us wondering if you’d lost the plot.

    See what I mean? It’s talking in code rather than being clear.

    If I was given a figure for PCD by someone who did not know for what the abbreviation stood, I would not trust their information.

    Then I apologise, I assumed that if someone knew the answer to the question, they would know what P.C.D meant.

    But If I had to explain what P.C.D is, then the good folk that didn't know wouldn't have the answer I was looking for would they????

    Don't worry  about it, its no big deal,

    And no its not a technical forum but I know, because I have seen the posts that there are some very, very clued up engineers from all walk of life on here. And they are more than willing to share their expertise.

    If my posts offended, that wasn't my intention.
