Title: RE: stud patterns

Isn't 114.3 the metric measurement of the imperial 4  3/4????

If not its bloody close. And also if not why not? Did the japanese just go hmmmm, 114.3 thats a nice round figure???

Technically my Morris had the 4 3/4 cause it was british and made in the '60s but I never had any trouble breaking studs or anything using japanese wheels from the '80s.

    Your missing the point, they aren't 15 1/4", they're 390mm. i.e. a metric
    size.

    My fathers jag had them too. With a 4 3/4" PCD stud pattern wheel - i.e.
    imperial. Arrrrghhhh.

    Makes about as much sense as the much vaunted GM 6.35mm bolt.
