How to read 88H: 88 is the load index (up to 1,235 lb / 560 kg per tire) and H the speed rating (up to 130 mph / 210 km/h). ET45 is the wheel offset: how far the mounting face sits from the rim centre, in millimetres. Check a new wheel against the factory 14x5.5 ET45 in the offset and backspacing calculator.
