Evidence summary

• Documented builds: 9
• Observed range in our build database: ET15 to ET30
• Most frequently documented tire: 295/35R21 (8 builds)
• Axle context: In our build database: 3 documented as square (same size all around); 6 as part of a staggered setup; 5 front-only for this size; 2 rear-only for this size; 2 with this size on both axles. Rear-only or front-only counts are not treated as square.

Compared with OEM

OEM baseline used for geometry: 21×8.5 ET33

Width vs OEM: +2 in

Outer edge 33.4 mm farther toward fender (more outward poke)

Inner edge 17.4 mm closer to suspension (less inner clearance)

Geometry uses the most frequently documented offset when available. It does not mean the wheel “fits” or “will clear.”

Documented offsets

• ET25 — 4 builds
• ET28 — 3 builds
