ET35 and ET38 will make no noticeable difference. You will get all of 3mm track difference.

ET38 is std sierra offset, thats probably why most people use it. ET19 is the offset of the older rwd fords (escorts, cortinas and capris). But as the MNRs are sierr based ET38 will do you just fine.

my wheels sit in very tight at the rear with Et 38 so anything between Et19 and 38 will be ok i assume!

ET38 is the equivalent of ET35 on a wider wheel... gives more clearence on the inside edge

Both ford offsets..

ET 35 for 6.5 inch, ET38 for 7.0 inch

ET 18/19 is Peugot offset or some older fords with narrower wheels..
