ET44?

What does ET44 mean?

Why my wheel guy sent me these wheels? I ordered 35mm offset, Does ET44 stand for 44mm?

I'm confused?

Assuming this (ET44) for Rear Rim, isn't..?, if so, it will be OK..!,,

(ET44) is the off-set of the hub height from inside(where the Rim mounted to the hub)..!!

ZAYED,,
I had specified 35mm offset which is on the invoice. That's why he sent it back to me with this note just after I told him it was ET44 few minute ago: "It should be a 35mm offset."

What I didn't tell you but I told the wheel guy, is that I wanted a fifth rim as full-size to use as spare, a spare for all four and that it had to be 35mm offset. this is the second time he sends me an ET44! That's why I have two.

Thanks so much Zayed thank you for clarifying. I guess I was right to think ET and OFFSET are the same meaning and 44 means 44mm

FINALLY they agreed they sent the wrong wheel again. For a moment there they thought I was making it up.
