Thanks. I never read my Cayenne wheels. It's obviously different when the front and rear wheels are different.

You'll commonly see the German abbreviation for offset, ET or et. The diameter and width of a wheel are in inches while the offset is in millimeters. For example, 18x8.5 et 45 is a 18" diameter, 8.5" wide wheel with 45mm offset.
