Remove your arches, cut off the bolts to hold them in place and sikaflex them on.

ET is the offset of the wheel. It's basically a measurement from the imaginary centreline of the wheel upto the mounting face so it determines how far in/out of the arch the wheel sits. It will be cast into it somewhere and will say ETxx. The xx's being what your offset is. Try to stick to ET49 wheels for least problems.
