Thread: 2015 TDV6 wheel PCD

Does anyone happen to know what it is? I did a quick search but couldn't find anything...

Unless its changed, 5 x 120 PCD on D3/D4. Not sure about the 2015 model but cant see why it would change.


Remember landrover use 14mm x 1.5 wheel studs, same size as land cruiser use.

5 on 120 PCD

Same as D2, P38A, D3, RRS, L322, et al. (and Holden Commodore?)

It's not as simple as just matching the PCD... (5x120, with M14x1.5 studs) you'll also need hubs with a spigot that the wheels both fit over, and locate on, so you'll need someone with half a brain to set it up...

It is a big issue with matching your tow vehicle to the trailer, trailer places and hub manufacturers haven't quite made it to the 20th century, let alone the 21st century, most hubs and axles are imperial and not metric, getting 14mm x 1.5 pitch studs with 5 x 120 PCD can be painful, especially with 10" or 12" electric brakes, if your trailer maker has any brains, then maybe it will be done, though steel rims on your trailer will be your only choice.

There are very many wheel manufacturers that make an alloy rim with the 5 x 120 PCD that will fit over the bearing hub, trust me I've tried, as has others here.

Fitting steel wheels shouldn't be an issue, as steel rims locate via the wheel nuts, the other issue is fitting the trailer wheels over the brakes on the tow car, so it will take a bit of work between you and the trailer place.

You can fit alloys quite easily.

It is physically possible to drill 5x120 in a 10" parallel electric brake hub but not in a 12" electric brake hub because its inner bearing is too large for this PCD.

Not D3/D4 alloys you can't, well unless you go 19s, but then you need hub centric rings and at what cost, show me alloys that will then fit the car and trailer as well, that don't cost a fortune and what happens when you get a flat, remember we are talking 18 and 19" tyres here.

But he will have 18" as a minimum, how many places make an alloy to suit the D4 as well, this is the main problem, then getting the trailer manufacturer to find them and set the van up to suit.

If it were 16" rims and tyres, then no real problem, but I think the trailer mob will refuse and prefer that he go cruiser pattern and 9/16 studs, like 99.9% of trailer/van manufacturers.
