came across ruff replicas in the following size:

19x8.5 et52
19x11 et52

I *think* the fronts are fine but the rear seem like they will be tucked in too much... am I right? will a spacer work here?

thanks

according to gemballa an 11" ET52 rear will fit on a NB with fenders rolled.

confused....

Does et52 vs et67(which I know fits on and 11" wheel) mean the 52 is pushed OUT not IN more?

Offset is the difference in MM between the centerline of the wheel and the mounting surface of the wheel. So, In this case 67mm is further from the center than 52mm is ......the higher the offset, the deeper into the well the wheel will sit.

Maybe backspace is a better way to put it. Say you have a 19 x 11 52ET wheel. 52mm is 2.05". The middle of the wheel is 5.5"

5.5 + 2.05" = 7.55" from the monting suface of the wheel to the back of the wheel. It's easier to see this way how a higher offset equals a deeper inset.
