I know what they are but cant work out if...

 

Current Wheels I have are 10*4.75" and have an off set of ET40

 

New wheels I am looking at are 10*4.5" and have an off set of ET35

 

In relation to the current wheel, how far will they stick out?

 

I am not using plastic arches and running 7.5 cooper S brake / spacer drums at rear, 0.8 degrees neg camber all round.

 

Cheers!

Richard.

Et 0 = centre of wheel is in the middle of the wheel hoop.

- = more dish, hoop offset away from car
+ = less dish, hoop offset towards car :)

Edit: also the Et number is in mm's.
