I understand it, but I can't comprehend it!

In short, I have a set of 22×9.5 OEM Range Rover Turbine wheels. They are ET49.

I also have a set of aftermarket wheels that are 22x10 ET38

I appreciate that the aftermarket set are half an inch wider which will have a bearing, but what I can't get my head around is will the aftermarket set sit out further from the hub (as well as being half an inch wider)?

My brain says yes, because there is only 38mm from hub face to centreline of the wheel, rather than 49mm.

Someone please put me out of my misery! laugh

Thank you!

That makes perfect sense. I just couldn't get my head around it.

I found this site really useful when I put non standard tyres on my Z4. You can put in loads of info to compare with what you have got and get an idea how they might fit.
