The less the et the more they stick out so ET45 will stick out more than ET49

ok mate will do

also how much further would an et 45 stick out compared to an et49

does every 1 et equal 1 cm for example?

Still seems wrong though, that means his wheels are 1.9 inches wide?

off set is from the middle of the wheel out to where the wheel bolts on to
Anyway the lower the offset the less the wheel sticks out.

oh shite yeah it will stick out an extra 4mm.
I though the distance mattered from the middle not the "wheel bolt onto bit"
