Many people are confused with those definition. PCD, OFFSET and CENTERBORE is totally important thing or definition when you are going to buy a new sport rims. Here is some explanation about it and some guide to choose a sport rims that suitable for your car.
WHAT IS RIM PCD, OFFSET & CENTERBORE? DEFINITION & GUIDE TO CHOOSE SPORT RIMS
WHAT IS PCD?
The meaning of PCD? PCD stands for pitch circle diameter and is the diameter of a circle drawn through the centre of your wheel’s bolt holes. ]
P.C.D. is measured in millimeters and also indicate the number of studs or bolts the wheel will have. Proton Alloy Wheels are usually either 4×100: i.e. 4 bolt holes drilled through the centre of an imaginary 100mm circle.
About the holes & bolts attached, most Proton & Perodua Cars have 4 bolts, most U.S. passenger cars have 5 bolts while compact models sometimes have only 4 and pick-up trucks can have as many as 6 or 8. In contrast, some smaller French cars, including the Citroën 2CV, Renault 4 and some Peugeot 106′s and Citroen Saxos only have three which is same with Proton Tiara.
RIM PCD OFFSET AND CENTERBORE OF MAZDA, NISSAN & TOYOTA (picture above)
If you can see the schedule above shows some PCD of cars. The vehicle with more holes like Land Cruiser is because of the SUV needs more strength to hold the rims.
Some aftermarket rim manufacturers do provide universal-fit rims which have elongated lug holes (or 8-10 holes which cover multiple bolt patterns) which will fit a wider-range of vehicles.
The most common PCD values are 100 mm and 114.3 mm. This difference arises from the manufacturers’ measurement convention – whether they are designing around metric values (100 mm) or imperial values (4.5 inches, i.e. 114.3 mm).

WHAT IS RIM OFFSET?
The offset, measured in millimeters, can be negative or positive, and is the distance from the hub-mounting surface to the rim’s true centerline. A positive offset means the hub-mounting surface is closer to the outside edge of the wheel, i.e. the wheel wraps around the hub and brake hardware more deeply; a negative offset means the hub-mounting surface is closer to the inside edge of the wheel and wheel sticks outwards more than inwards.
Negative Offset wheels have their mounting face toward the rear of the wheel – powerful rear-wheel drive cars often have wheels with negative offset. This is the contributing factors of being a bigger “lips” rim.
When selecting aftermarket wheels, a wheel with too little positive offset will be closer to the fender, and one with too much positive offset will be closer to the suspension components. Wheel width, offset and tire size all determine the way a particular wheel/tire combination will work on a given car.
To maintain handling characteristics and avoid undue loads on bushings and ball joints, the car manufacturer’s original offset should be maintained when choosing new wheels unless there are overriding clearance issues.
Offset also affects the scrub radius of the steering and it is advisable to stay within the limits allowed by the vehicle manufacturer. Because wheel offset changes the lever-arm length between the center of the tire and the centerline of the steering knuckle, the way bumps, road imperfections and acceleration and braking forces are translated to steering torques (bump-steer, torque-steer, etc) will change depending on wheel offset. Likewise, the wheel bearings will see increased thrust loads if the wheel centerline is moved away from the bearing centerline.
WHAT IS CENTERBORE?
The center bore of an alloy wheel is the size of the hole at the back of the wheel which the hub fits into. To help the wheels to seat properly this hole needs to be an exact match to the size of the hub. Please refer to the first picture above this articles.
Some factory wheels have a centerbore that matches exactly with the hub to reduce vibration by keeping the wheel centered. Wheels with the correct centerbore to the car they will be mounted on are known as hubcentric. Hubcentric wheels take the stress off the lug nuts, reducing the job of the lug nuts to center the wheel to the car.
Wheels that are not hubcentric are known as lugcentric, as the job of centering is done by the lug nuts assuming they are properly torqued down. Centerbore on aftermarket wheels must be equal to or greater than that of the hub or the wheel cannot be mounted on the car. Many aftermarket wheels come with “hubcentric rings” that lock or slide into the back of the wheel to adapt a wheel with a larger centerbore to a smaller hub. These adapters are usually made of plastic but also in aluminium.

mahu tahu ‘offset’ rim alloy OEM saga BLM & ‘offset’ berapakah sesuai jika mahu rim sukan kelihatan sama rata dengan badan luar saga BLM? harap dapat memahami maksud saya..
kentos, yang tu kena gi kedai rim tanya dorang. Sebab kalo offset pon sebenarnya x menunjukkan 100% tayar boleh sama rata dengan badan luar. Sebab die ade lagi satu faktor iaitu rim flange yang terjojol keluar tu. Kalo lebar flange tu, terkeluarla rim tu. Pendek kata, cuba tanya kedai sport rim dulu tengok macam mana.
OK, terima kasih KDI.. kalo tahu offset OEM saga BLM tu bolehlah agak-agak offset yang sesuai.. sbb nak cari rim sukan yang jual2 kat laman web nie.. jadi info yang diberikan contoh offset 35 @ 40.. kalau sudah tahu bolehlah agak agak..huhu

Saga tak silap offset 46mm PCD 100
Terima Kasih bro. Norman.. pendapat saya BLM tak boleh pakai JJ besar sangat hanya JJ6-6.5 & offset 40-45.. boleh sangkut tayar depan kat spring.. nak lowerd kena main offset kecil/JJ kecil.. kalo besar tayar terkeluar kena mudguard pula.. kena uji kaji benda nie.. kalo salah betulkan ye…

*SOALAN : Salam, saya bakal membeli Kia Spectra/2004 (used). Standard rim pada model ini saya plan nak tukar kepada rim 17″(1st choice) @ 16″(2nd.choice) … Saya nak tahu brapa size PCD(etc) rim yang sesuai buat kia Spectra 1.6 model 2004 ini. Takut terbeli sport-rims yang tersangkut pada body terutamanya rims depan atas sebab “lebar rim” lebih panjang dari batang pemegang rims. Expert-Otai tolong la jawab. Terima kasih.

PCD bukan masalah sebab ia tak boleh ditukar. Yang jadi masalah ialah OFFSET dan CENTREBORE rim (refer pd gambar diatas). Offset akan menentukan samada rim itu akan terkeluar atau tersorok kedalam. Dan Centrebore akan menentukan samada rim itu akan tetap kedudukanya atau terlalu banyak ‘play’ semasa berpusing. Kalau nak elok, cuba kekalkan Offset dan Centrebore ukuran yang asal. Rim boleh besar dan kecil asalkan tidak menjejaskan pusingan tayar semasa melalui jalan yang tidak rata. Kalau nak pakai rim yg besar, munkin absorber pun kena tukar pasa jenis sport. Selalunya klu kita ubah spesifikasi tayar/rim asal, kita kena korbankan ‘COMFORT’ ketika memandu ….. Just my opinion.
yg ni suggestion r..
Front Size: 17x7J; Offset: +40
Rear Size: 17×7.5J; Offset: +38
tayar 205/40/17 @ 215/45/17…..tp sendiri mau ingat r….risiko rim bengkok klau langgar lubang mmg tinggi….mmg cun…
klau rim 16 pkai saiz tayr 205/55@50/16…..ape2 bro try google kat spectra forum…mybe kt situ rmai owner spectra yg dh menggunakannya
K thanks to Bro Citra and Bro Eder atas INF0.. Simple tapi padat, sy dah copy both comment dlm note book.. Thanx again for helping! Ingatkan exident je rims bole bengkok huhu tq :) \m/
soalan yg x terjawab…nk try jawab…hehe
bolat…
bole je masuk rim myvi…pcd dh sama…cuma kena tukar tayar lain je….165/50/14…klau tayaw asal myvi sangkut…..
jo…
rim 17 ni gaya je lebih keselesaan hancur…rim 17 terpaksa pkai tayr low profil…215/45/17….kebanyakan owner myvi pkai 16 je…205/45@50/16…….
arienymous…
lagar lubang mmg senang sangat rim bengkok melainkn ko pkai rim jepun…dimana material yg heavy duty…dh pkai tayar low profil tnggung sendiri r…..pastu tayar biar yg ade harga n yg tahan lasak..lg satu bila hujan x safety bila langgar lopak air & bawak laju juga agak bahaya….
Zafira spec rim PCD110 5 Hole Offset 45 CB 65.1 …..
Memang susah nak cari PCD110 5 Hole ni , kalau ada pun mahal …Sebelum ni pernah guna rim PCD 108 dan PCD 112 tak de masalah cuma tak banyak pilihan je .
Soalan : Bolehkah saya menggunakan rim PCD 114.3 tanpa mengubah screw hub ? PCD 114.3 ni rimnya banyak pilihan .PCD110 dgn 114.3 tak banyak beza cuma 4.3mm saja .
Offset besar dari 45 senang cari dan CB kalau besar boleh guna centre cone ….
Sekian terima kasih
