Example: 7J x 17 ET39
7 = rim width in inches 1.
J = rim drop centre outline (side projection where the tyre bead rests)
2.
17 = rim nominal diameter in inches (corresponds to diameter of the tyre to be mounted)
3= Ø.
ET39 = wheel camber (distance between the disc/rim support plane and the wheel rim centre line). RIM PROTECTORS fig. 180
DO NOT fit wheel hub caps (for
versions/markets, where provided) when

the steel rim and after sale tyres provided with
Rim Protector. The use of unsuitable tyres and
wheel hub caps could cause a sudden pressure
loss in the tyre.
