VR6Rich 3 Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Think they are ET43, should be stamped on the wheel. Not sure what ET stands for though. Not even stated on this page http://www.carbibles.com/tyre_bible.html Link to post Share on other sites
kalv 0 Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Answer to Question 1:What does OFFSET (et) mean?Your car requires a unique offset. This is where the wheel will sit in relation to the bodyline of the vehicle, realistically you can go 5-7mm outside these recommendations, as there are often other factors that need to be considered. Offset is usually stamped on the wheel and is measured in millimetres of et (et is the short form of the German word 'Einpresstiefe' which literally translates as insertion depth).
