Wheel Offset Question

[Dazza72]

Can anyone confirm the offsets for the 20" Style 451 wheels? I seem to recall seeing some specs somewhere (although I can't find them now) that they were ET 25 both front and back, but I'm not sure how reliable the source was.

Also curious what the offsets are for the base 19" wheels.

If the offsets are indeed as I've stated, I'm concerned it's going to be difficult to find an aftermarket set to use for a winter setup - the vast majority of wheels I'm able to find on eBay or aftermarket sites seem to have offsets of 40 or greater. I don't want my winter setup sitting miles back from the fender flares.

For your 451 rim, it's ET 40 (10JX20 = front wheels) and ET 37 (11JX20 = rear wheels). Here's the official info regarding the 451 20" by RealOEM.com:

For the 19", I checked them all and I remember my 19" X-Line Orbit Gray offset. It is ET 48 for all 4 since it is not a staggered setup. It's all four because it is listed as 9JX19 ET:48 with a Quantity of 4 while the 20" have a Quantity of 2 for 10JX20 and 2 for 11JX20 since they come in a staggered setup.

Here's the complete list of all wheels and sizes for the F15:

That should cover it . If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
