Anyone that knows exactly the specs of the 8 spoke rims ?

I'm selling a set of 5 to a guy and he is asking me the "ET"

i know they are 4x108 , 14" diameter and 6" wide but i dont know the ET.

All the info the buyer should need is here (from the Tech Section).

Look under backspacing and offset in the spec chart.

hello,

ET stands for Einpress-Tiefe.
not sure right now what it means.

According to Google translate, "Einpress-Tiefe" means "offset" and "Einpress Tiefe" (without the dash) means "press depth in".

Hey,

i checked on the net. ET ( einpresstiefe) means the distance between the center of the wheel to the point where it contacts the car.
If you change from ET 30 to ET 25 the track-width will be greater (5 mm).

Check this side www.komplettrad.biz/einpresstiefe.html

The ET size must be on the rim somewhere!(At least when it is a german one.)

ET same as offset.

Looks to me like decreasing offset would decrease track by a factor of two. . .
