Land Rover PCD vs Transit 5 stud PCD....

[IgorVigor]

Right, I am posting this up to try and help other people....

I'm sorry if someone has already posted it, but I haven't seen it.....


So here is a picture of a Land Rover Wheel with a 5x165 PCD fitted to a Transit with the 5x160 PCD...



As you can see, the Transit studs DO NOT centre in the LR stud holes due to the different PCD


And the wheel studs themselves are also considerably smaller

Here is a close up of the stud and the gap around it.....



(for a rough reference the transit wheel studs use a 19mm socket, so you can see how big the LR wheel studs are)



I hope this is of some interest, and might even help people ACTUALLY see the difference......

Perhaps make it a sticky, or move it too the "Useful Infomation" section?

Good pictures - for reference landrovers use a 16mm stud with a 27mm headed nut.

What you haven't said is that the LR wheels are not safe to use because of the PCD difference

[IgorVigor]

True....I didn't mention that its unsafe......


but you have, so now this thread is even more useful

[robbie.cee]

mine fit perfectly now

[IgorVigor]

Yes yours have been drilled to suit

I was showing the actual difference between transit and LR PCD

[acarpen9]

They look robbie.

Was it many dollars getting em done?

[AlanN]

Has anyone ever welded the holes up after?

[captain hook]

Yes....Do a search...Your mate Luke has

[AlanN]

Dont, you sound like MPuk

[robbie.cee]

Wheels 60-80quid see capn hook
Paint 25 quid
Drilling 40quid plus add a drink for coll del to engineers
Tires from captain hook bloody good price
All in bout 250 fitted
Chrome stuff more lol

[Mr RVM]

Them there wheels look truely magnificent but i think i would have went the extra and used countersunk headed bolts fitted from inside wheel with another set of chrome nuts to fill leftover holes call me a fussy tw@t but i think it would look pretty damn good ???

PS dont forget to tell the tyre fitter !!! lol

[robbie.cee]

I would be forever be undoing the wrong nuts lol
Tis good idea tho. Others weld up the 165pcds.
Just wanted em on ASAP they'll prob stay like that now
It's nice now they're balanced too cod was properly shaking Stevens beforehand
