what is it

and would et42 fit???

thanks jamie

 

et25 is standard.

don't think they will look too good.

et 42 will sit in wat too much.

 

what does the number represent?

 

think mine are et22

 

the smaller the number the more the wheel sticks out.

it is the distance from the hub face that the wheels sticks out......soething like that.

 

would that not mean the higher the number the more they stick out then Dave?

 

the higher the number the more they go inside behind the nuts/hub face.

the lower the number the more they stick out from the hub face,so they fill the arches better.

if you can understand that.

 

imagine a center line along the hub face.....looking at it from the front of the car.....

the higher the et number the more it sits to the left of the center line,the lower the number the more it sits to the right of the center line......yes.



there are pictures on here somewhere.

 

I get it

 

 

As Dave says, they would sit too far in, possibly by enough to foul the suspension in fact.

 

ET42 is more than likely a Focus wheel

 

The offset of a wheel is the distance from its hub mounting surface to the centerline of the wheel:

 

thanks that makes it clear now. so i want an et in the low 20's.

thanks guys

 

Et15 looks the best of an Escos. Thats what Martin reccomends and sells his MOs in.

 

yours are definately ET25

i paid an arm and a leg to get a matching one as there was one odd wheel on it when i got it( un known to be) and it took fookin ages to sus out why it wouldnt track up properly, only when i took them all off and inspected them with a fine tooth comb i noticed one was a ET20, which im trying to sell at the moment
