Fitting wheels on a Citroen AX 3 trou

A Citroen AX 3 trou (1986–1998) uses a 3x98 PCD and a centre bore of 55.1 mm. Any wheel must match the vehicle's PCD exactly: there is no tolerance, unless you use a PCD adapter.

  • PCD: 3x98 required. See all vehicles with 3x98.
  • Centre bore: the wheel must have a centre bore of 55.1 mm or more. If it is larger (as with most aftermarket wheels), add a hub centric ring wheel centre bore → 55.1 mm.
  • Offset: the original is ET20. Compare your future wheel with the offset calculator (your vehicle is already selected) to see how many millimetres further in or out it will sit.
  • Fixings: thread -, tightened to 90 Nm. The nuts or bolts must have the same seat (conical, spherical or flat) as the wheel.

Will wheels from another vehicle fit your AX 3 trou?

Choose the vehicle the wheels come from: we compare the hub, then each original wheel to the millimetre.

Same PCD, different centre bore

These vehicles also use 3x98 but with a different centre bore: their wheels need a hub centric ring if their centre bore is larger than 55.1 mm, and will not fit if it is smaller.
