Title: Change of PCD Post by: Richie 66 on March 27, 2009, 03:22:38 PM Just wondering how difficult it would be to change a pcd on a axle.
I'm gonna be using a axle off a Nissan Cabstar (large) it has 6studs and have just been given some 15 inch alloys , but they only have holes for 4 studs. What's your advice , bearing in mind trike being built on a budget and I couldn't find alloys to fit the axle as is ? cheers Richie.

Steel rings, with recessed mounts for the original wheel nuts, so they sit flush with the face of the adaptor, then new wheel studs of the correct pattern mounted in the front face. You can buy studs & nuts of any thread & length you need from Speed Shack, who's details are in the Links for Commercial Purposes section of the forum.

I had a further look and head scratching at the axle and wheels and have decided that the new pcd required is just too small for the axle, so am basically gonna either look for some other wheels in the scrappies or hold to the damn thing for another day. Btw , I used to live in Mitcham so am gutted I never found this forum then :( , still got trike friend there though.

Take a look at the PCD chart in the Motors, 3 wheels section of the main site. Might help you find a set of wheels that'll fit your axle.
