Offset?

[Threehz]

Just a random strange question.

My wheels say ET 16 - 30

What does this mean?

I tried searching and couldn't find anything about offset with two numbers after the ET.

Thanks

I appreciate it but that helps in no way. Why is a link to that and the tire calculator everyone's answer no matter what the question is?

The thing is not that I don't understand offset...

If it said ET 30 that would make perfect sense, it appears to be offset 30 but why is the 16 there?

How about you tell us what wheel model it is.

Compomotive FH, 6.5 x 14 ET 16 - 30

measure the distance from the hub mounting surface to the back of the wheel, thats the backspacing. than use that to find the offset.

I have put in some time searching, they are ET 16, I too cannot find any info regarding the 30.

Well thanks man, took me long enough to even find out which model of Compos my wheels were heh. Makes me even more excited to get these back on and have my wheels look a little more flush.
