Wheels are usually stamped with their offset using the German prefix "ET", meaning "Einpresstiefe" or, literally, "insertion depth". An example would be "ET45" for a 45mm offset.
Calculating the offset of a wheel is a fairly easy mathematical equation. First, measure the overall width of the wheel (remember, just because a wheel is 18x7.5, does not mean that the OVERALL width is 7.5â€

thats exactly what i want... but i want the 8" ones all round.. these have an ET of -10, and according to wheel whores offset calculator rhis will put the wheels 61 mm further out... thats gonna be some serious stretch on the tyres or some serious arch work...
