Subject: Re: ET-values for 9-3 Rims?


ET is the distance between the back face of the wheel bolt hole and the center of the rim width in millimeter. It is specified by the car manufacturer to achieve proper steering geometry and bearing load. Using a different ET in my opinion could damage the wheel bearings and will affect steering geometry. Unfortunately all after marker steel wheels on the market here in Canada do not have the proper ET distance specified by SAAB.
