Default Fuel Wheel Markings

My new wheel and tire setup seems to have more tire poke than I expected. So I found markings on the back lip of the wheels and they have “ET 1” on them. Is it safe to assume that this means offset +1 ? What I had ordered was +20 offset. Looks like I’m paying a visit to Discount Tire tomorrow.

You are correct. ET 1 would indicated an offset of +1mm. +20mm should have the wheels either flush or slightly tucked in with the fender lips.

Its hard to fully tell from that angle but those look pretty damn good fitment wise and look wise. IMO you need a little poke to give it that aggressive look. Lets see some frontals

The look is nice, but it needs to remain functional or not worth it. Hard to tell in this pic, but this setup will rub the front crash bars if suspension compresses at full lock. Too much hunting and ****ty trailheads in my future.

You are correct, ET is the German abbreviation for offset so yes, your wheels do have +1mm offset. The ET+20 will sit about 3/4" further INWARD when compared to the ET+1 We apologize for the mix-up with that!

Speak with the store manager about this and I'm confident he'll make it right. If we can be of any assistance from our end, please let us know and thank you again for your support!
Thanks for the post. Went back to the store this morning and got the correct wheels reordered. Hopefully they get installed before the weekend.

Discount Tire got my correct wheels mounted today. Here’s a pic showing the clearance to the front crash bars. +1 offset on left, rubbing looks inevitable if compressed while turning.
+20 on the right, won’t rub under any conditions.
