What Does Wheel ET or Offset Mean?
Posted on 26/01/2011 by retro7
A wheels offset is determined by the distance from the centre of the wheel to the rear of the bolting plate.
For any individual alloy or steel wheel, ET and Offset both have the same meaning and value. The term ET originates from the German word ‘Einpresstiefe’ which translates as ‘insertion depth’.
