Wheel ET

If a set off wheels have a lower ET then standard would the stick out or in more
i think i read the mondeo is ET42 but can only find 35 and 37 after market rims

Thankyou Blunt

Just remember the ET stands for Einspritz Tief, which is german for INSERTION DEPTH, measured from the centre line of the wheel, so the higher the number the more it sticks in depth wise.

Thankyou Blunt

they will stick out more but the offset you quote will fit fine as its only a couple of mm
