Title: Changing Alloys - repitch or hub adaptors?
Post by: MV6Matt on 07 January 2009, 19:39:09
Happy New year everyone!

I'm still undecided about what particular style of alloys to go for (immaterial really) but there are some that I like but have a different PCD (stud pattern as I've discovered).
Vaux/Opel PCD for 5 stud wheels is 5 x 110.

I've been looking at quite a few different wheels and a lot of them have PCDs of 108, 112 and 120.

There seen to be 2 different approaches to adapting wheels to the 110 PCD
1. Repitching which so I've found out involves:- "Repitching means you open the wheel bolt hole by 2mm. We have our own cnc machine so we are able to drill wheels, adjust offsets and repitch"

2. Hub adaptors:-
"Hi, it is possible to get a hub adaptor to get them to fit. These cost around £100 and take 3-5 days to order in"

So, question to anyone who knows:-

Is one a better way of doing it than the other?
Should either be avoided?

Any opinions/advice welcome

Matthew

Hi Mark!

Well, yes, that could be a very simple way round it. There are just more styles that have other PCds that I like better than those with the vaux one!
