wheel offset

What type of offset should I use with the MNR?
What does the ET mean when quoting the offset?

cheers,
Steve.

ET is the distance off centre the wheel flange is...

For 6 inch wheels you want an ET35 offset for the road and an et18 peugot odffset for the track..

The larger the offset the closer the wheels to the cycle brackets...

What a complete tw4t! He says (among other humerous remarks) "OFFSET (also referred to as 'ET': Simply this is where the outside of the wheel needs to be in relation to the bodyline of the vehicle"
And this absolute screamer "Detailed Explanation: There are 2 main reasons for fitting Alloy Wheels: Weight and Style. Alloy wheels are a lot lighter than the equivalent size of steel wheels."

How about 7 inch wide wheels with 35mm offset on a RT?
