      I dont actually know the measurement, but i had them add am inch to the width of the rim, normally they come 16x7 but these are 16x8 and they have a 1 inch lip so the offset stood the same at 33.

      and yes they are 57.1mm

        .. wait are you saying et33 because thats what is says on the back?

        if so that number is incorrect and if you added an inch to the barrel, the effective offset will actually be higher. something like et48 if im not mistaken.. someone else want to chip in on this?

          Do you have a straight edge and a ruler?

          Since the wheels have been modified there is too much ambiguity about the resulting offset.

          Knowing the exact backspace will help people determine if the tires will clear the front strut tubes, the inner rear fenderwells, and even the rear fender lips on 88 and newer cars.

          As a point of reference, my former 7.5" wide ET29 Ronals had 5-3/8" backspace and the inner sidewalls slightly rubbed my front strut tubes and my left rear inner fenderwell.

            I would have to get back on that when i have the chance to measure them.

            If it helps i have 25mm spacers all around and they clear, i think 20mm spacers would make it clear as well.

              When i purchased the wheels they told me the offset was 33, my guess is they added a 1/2in lip and 1/2in to the barrel? that should leave the offset the same but ill double check this weekend.
