What is offset (ET) on a car wheel, how can I find out?
Wheel offset (ET) is the distance between the wheel's centerline and its mounting surface (the mounting flat). Offset (also known as wheel offset) refers to the distance from the center of the wheel's rim (by width) to the mating surface. What is the difference between a 35mm offset, a 40mm offset, or a 45mm offset? What should a wheel offset be? What does ET 35 mean on wheels? How do I correctly interpret wheel offset? Can I install wheels with a different offset? How do I correctly decipher the markings on a car wheel and choose the right wheels for my car? Wheel type ET, R-14; mounting (or seat) diameter; the number and diameter of the mounting holes and bolts on the wheel, and their interpretation. How do I determine if wheels will fit my car? How do I choose the right wheel size? How do I know what size wheels are on my car? What does the ET parameter affect, and how can I find it?
