that is the offset number. The space between the centre hub and the face of the wheel. A larger number means the wheel sticks out. A small number means it does not. Perfect offset for vauxhall corsa is ET49

the smaller the number the further the wheel sticks out

ie et35 will stick out further than ET45

et is measured in mm so difference between et35 & et45 is 10mm
