ET or otherwise known as the offset is the distance from the face of the alloy to the centre line of it...

the J figures are the width of the wheels, so a 5J alloys means its 5 inches from inner lip to the other side of the inner lip. normally, when you measure the total width of a 5J alloy, its about 6 inches wide(including the widths of the alloys lips that hold the tyres). so the majority of 15" wheels being 7J's means they are 8" wide, which are really phat and quite regularly present rubbing problems.
