Yes, ET37. I think this means the wheel will stand out 7mm further than oem.
I may delay putting them on as the gas board are about to dig up the road and probably my drive and don't fancy parking round the corner on new wheels (paranoid as knce had z set nicked.. 25 years ago).
The Oswald are et 39,if fitting et 37 the difference will be 2mm further out.
 
Oswalds 6.5", oz 7" wide. Appologies (previously said 7mm) the calculator says 8mm (8.35mm) further out👍
Forgot about the different width.I have 16” fitted and they don’t look that wide,I’ve had no clearance issues and l must say that the ride and handling on our terrible roads is much better.I’m running on Bridgestone turanzas and and they are superb.
 
The Bridgestone are absolute dog turd. I fitted a new one last year as the Mrs smashed it against a kerb and it blebbed. 12month on, same tyre has blebbed again, no kerbs this time. Gone for Toyo Proxes in 205 fitment...
Well I think they are superb,but then I don’t hit kerbs.i have had them on vw’s and Audi’s in the past and have never had a problem.
