I recently sent them an email about a similar issue but they do list what they have on their website.

exactly, now you have the correct sarcasm quota:

in answer to your offset question you remove the width of the adapter from the ET (offset figure) to get the new offset. So, ET45 with 20mm spacers means ET25.

i'll remember this in future.....

im just confused as to what the offset measurement of my alloys are!!!!

 written on them is "7 1/2 jX18 H2"...is their any reference to the offset within that marking? :rolleyes:

no thats just wheel size.  the offset is expressed as ET ie ET35. what wheels are they and what car are they supposed to be for?  if they are OEM wheels they often dont have the offset on them.  to measure the offset you need to determine the centre point of the wheel and measure the distance from there to the mounting face of the wheel in millimeters. that is the offset.
