At least that's how it was explained to me and I've compared 530 et25 and 35 in person, they are identical.


No way et25 and et35 can be identical with the same wheel width so someone has their pants on fire . In your theory, if you keep adding material to the back of the hub the offset would never change that's like saying adding a spacer changes the offset to a wheel.


Notice how the hub never changes in thickness but the hub is moved deeper into the wheel with a lower offset creating a more concave look.
