Wheel Offset. Wheel offset (abbreviated ET) is the distance from the mounting surface of the hub (M) to the wheelâs centerline (C). Offset can be positive or negative and is typically measured in millimeters. Wheel Backspacing. This is the distance created between the plane of the inner rim and the mounting surface of the hub (M).
If you take a wheel and cut it in half and draw a line down the centre of the width of the alloy wheel the offset will be the distance between the back face (mounting face) of the wheel and the centre line that you have just drawn. The offset is commonly shown as the letters ET followed by a number, eg: ET49.
