God morning,
If you had two 6x10 wheels, one ET-3 and the other ET8,
Which one sticks out further?? I don't really understand the ET measurement or what the number relates too, is it a measurement from the true centre line of the wheel??
I currently have 6x10 GB alloy minilight type wheels, which going from MiniSpares/Minisport are ET8. Not that means anything to me!
I was wondering if Ultralite deep dish 6x10 ET-3 or ET-15 stick out further?
Many thanks! 😎👍

Et0 would be a wheel with equal spacing front an back, negative etc stick out further, an the number is that offset in mm.

That's great, thank you! I've only had mini's for 22.5years, I'm still learning
So in simple terms a 6" Et0 wheel would be 3" equal either side. And the same wheel model with an ET-15 (negative 15) would stick out 15mm further than a 6" ET0 wheel? I think I'm there now. Cheers
