Whatcha. I wish to throw myself on the mercy of the assembled company and apologise sincerely for having got myself convinced I was right when I was actually wrong. I have been asserting over a few threads that the Jimny has a negative et this is wrong. What it has is a negative offset or more accurately a positive inset this has caused my aged brain to have a meltdown.
To be clear, offset-5 = inset+5 = et5 for a gen3 wheel and I have measured mine to be certain and have also seen inset 5 cast into the wheel. However I don't have a gen4 wheel to examine.
I am sorry for having attempted to mislead the forum. I will do better going forward.

One of the last 200ish of the gen3s, probably.

In the eyes of the assembled congregation you are forgiven.
But it does explain why the wheels on my wagon won't go around

With the relative ease of getting confused over this, is this information in the Wiki somewhere? If it isn't could someone apply it as it could clearly be very helpful for future reference

Funny. I had written a post where I was arguing that I didn't agree with you, but before posting I checked one more time on Google and elsewhere and got totally confused and deleted...
In short, I will never hold this against you or anyone else!
