Yep, the offset is +15.

ET is the short form of the German word "Einpresstiefe" which literally translates as "insertion depth."

well the problem is that i would have to run an adapter because these wheels are not the correct bolt pattern.
so the adapter adds 20mm in thickness, so these wheels would just be way too far out. it would be -5 offset.
