Hi all, have another question, could be for the mechanics amongst us. Thinking of buying a decent set of 2nd hand alloys. These are 17" 6 stud. Been looking at the teck stuff & the PCD is 139.0, the PCD of the alloys is 139.7. So is the .7 enough to stop them from fitting? Don't want to buy a pup & waste money. Or if anyone has any simular experiances, be open to suggestions.

Again, many thanks for the replies & input from you all.

A quick check of the wiki on PCDs shows that there is only one commonly used one of that size - 139.7mm - so if the .7mm were critical then it would not be possible to fit any commonly available wheels to the van. Which suggests that they have probably just rounded the size down in their specs.

Just one further check: presumably you are buying alloys that are adequately load rated for a commercial vehicle (i.e. adequately load rated for your specific commercial vehicle)? I suspect you are, because that size/stud layout is not common on cars, but worth checking...

  Hi mojo,

    Thanks for the reply, I would be really grateful if I could pick your brains a bit more. I can't upload the picks, but I have the link to ebay for them. I have to ask the seller if the centre diameter is the same as the stock ones I'm taking off.

  As for the PDC, I did wonder if the figure was rounded up or down, but .7 tho dosn't sound alot, can be the difference of a yeah or nay, as that is a fair tolerance gap.

  I do know the Hilux alloys swap straight over, that could be a way to go, but the age of the van, I think, dosn't warrant a set of all singing n dancing expensive ones. Just looking for something that will look the part & is cheap... as we like cheap.

  Again, many thanks for your time & input

You need to get the correct offset as well. That's how much the wheel is offset when looking from in front of the car.

Also the nuts or bolts can have a different profile

The pics on the ebay listing tell you all you need to know. Pcd 139.7mm, 24mm offset, rim width 7J & weight rating 955kg which will be adequate for your van, but offset needs checking because if wrong, tyres might clout bodywork on full lock. Your existing wheels may have offset & width stamped on somewhere.

As pointed out, pcd on your van should be in fact 139.7mm, but wheel pcd has to be exact size of van to fit. Measure across your van wheel studs. With 6 stud pattern you can measure from opposite wheel stud centres across hub, should be 139.7mm.

No such model as 'Gravis' but I guess misspell of 'Granvia' which is import similar to Hiace so wheels should fit. If you look in your local yellow pages, there are places that do alloy wheel refurbishment, ie shotblast & repaint, bring wheels up like new.

I've never heard of a Toyota Gravis before! Shame one of the four has been sandblasted though. I would expect that to oxidise quickly in winter use, unless you get some lacquer or powder coat on it...
