Checked out all the books but didn't find any confirmation.
Anyone have knowledge on this?

No, it's 3 x 125mm PCD, nothing similar to Renault or Peugeot. It's a DAF oddity. It'll be 10 days before I can tell you the ET, the stud hole diameter and the hub hole size. (In Glasgow at present, all my books are Dublin)

Here's the page from the DAF 66 factory manual I made earlier :D :

Volvos had "Marathon" spec steel rims.

Various alloys were made. Most recently the DCN had Minilites made with the custom drilling. Other old stuff can be found here ;)

Tero, Can I ask why you want this information?

bolt pattern is 3x108, pcd is 125.

bolt pattern is the distance between the bolt holes
PCD is the diameter of the circle which passes through the centre of all the bolt holes

bolt pattern on a 3x108 rim has a pcd of 125

Why I want this information? My car where I could measure these is away at the museum (70 miles).
I'm thinking of buying a project car and thought of the minilites.

If I buy a project car I could do all the pervert modifications that I just couldn't do on previous one.

What other cars have 3x108? Peugeot 106 has 3x98? Renault 5, Citroen Visa have 3x108?
Peugeot 304's have 3x108?
The ET's a mystery

Basically I would like to tune up the engine&chassis and make the wheels larger and wider. Perhaps 6x14" alloys with 195/60R14 tires.

Just searching for the alloys before putting my money on the car.

This would've been too easy way out.

well if it would be a project car, why not a converion to 4 stud with 4x100 pattern?

Or 4x108 if you want cheap minilites. :wink:

well i've heard that the front wheel bearing of a d66 is the same as a v3s one, so that would mean just swapping the hub over and possibly fabricate a bracket for the caliper.

i believe that if you take apart a v3s rear beam you might be able to do the same trick converting it to 4x100
