ET34.5 is the wheel offset: how far the mounting face sits from the rim centre, in millimetres. Check a new wheel against the factory 19x8.5 ET34.5 in the offset and backspacing calculator.

How to read 96Y: 96 is the load index (up to 1,565 lb / 710 kg per tire) and Y the speed rating (up to 186 mph / 300 km/h). ET37 is the wheel offset: how far the mounting face sits from the rim centre, in millimetres.

What these columns mean

Rim size: Rim diameter × width in inches, and the factory offset (ET) in millimetres, e.g. 18x7.5 ET25.
Bolt pattern (PCD): Number of studs and the diameter of the circle they sit on. It must match exactly.
Center bore: Diameter of the hub hole. Larger aftermarket bores need hub-centric rings.
Pressure: Recommended cold inflation pressure for that axle, in psi.
Staggered: A wider tire on the rear axle than the front. Front-to-back rotation is not possible.
Thread size: Lug bolt or nut thread — needed when buying aftermarket fasteners.
