The offset difference is where the archetypal excrement really hits the legendary ventilation device, because the ET 33 6" rims for 9000 cars, when moved over to a OG900 equipped with anything wider than a 195 tire, will sometimes rub on the fender lip on the left rear, although they seem to clear just fine even with 205/60 tires on all three other positions --I think it has to do with the slight lateral arc in the suspension movement caused by using a Panhard Rod rather than the more complicated Watts Link for lateral location of the rear axle. The 5 1/2" rims are ET 40mm, which means that the whole extra 1/2" is added to the outside on the 6" ET 33mm version.
