   im guna hijack this thread, saves me starting a new one.
   
   what is the ET of VTS wheels?
   
   ive just bought some new wheels that are ET11, im not 100% but i think VTS wheels are ET15?
   
   so mine will stick out more than the VTS wheels do.
   
   does anybody know how much more they will stick out?
   
   thanks,
   
   rick.

   the J has no reference to the width of the wheel
   it is the height of the bead.
