The offset of a vehicle's wheel is the distance between the centerline of the wheel and the plane of the hub-mounting surface of the wheel. It can thus be either positive or negative, and is typically measured in millimeters. Offset has a significant effect on many elements of a vehicle's suspension, including suspension geometry, clearance between the tire and suspension elements, the scrub radius of the steering system, and visually, the width of the wheel faces relative to the car's bodywork.

The centre bore is the size of the hole in the centre of the wheel where the spigot fits through.  The centre bore, (also known as spigot size), is the diameter of this hole, usually measured in millimetres.

PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter) is the measurement of the diameter of the imaginary circle drawn through all of the wheel bolts or studs on a wheel.  It is also known as the 'bolt circle'.

Hi! Awesome of you to "roll by" and check out this wheel-related article!  

Today we're going to talk about bolt pattern in metric and inches,(or should we say bolt pattern, same thing though).
