Give em a miss mate.

The offset indicates the distance from the center of the rim to the attaching disk part (unit:m/m).

Can't remember what they are on the 'se - but 39 springs to mind.

The offset is the distance between the mounting surface and the centre line of the wheel, it is always measured in millimetres.

If you sit the wheel down on a flat surface and measure the width of the wheel, divide it by 2, you get the centre line. The offset is then the difference between this centre line and the point in which the wheel comes into contact with the hub (mounting surface). The bigger the offset, the closer it will sit to the strut, the smaller the offset, the closer it will sit to the arch.

Example :- ET35 will sit closer to the wheel arch than ET45

Paseo 85 to 01

PCD - 4x100

Offset - 35 to 45
