Just as an idea, and a way to recover some of the cost... that whole set of wheels should be a perfect fitment on a V6 Emira. Any chance you could sell the complete setup (including TPMS, tires, etc) to another owner for what you've put into it, and re-order? It's super inconvenient, but if you're already having to re-do the rear wheels....

Are rear Emira OEM wheels really ET54mm??

I’m in China and have better things to do than take a hit and deal with that shit. The Lotus specialist supplier that is also in China is better positioned to find a customer for some V6 spec wheels than I am.

It is actually marked, but it’s not exactly obvious. I looked yesterday and didn’t notice. Most information is stamped quite clearly, but wheel specs are stamped very lightly, can just about make out ET64.
Measured OEM rim width and hub to rim.
209-(291/2)=63.5mm by my measurement, but hub was tricky to measure exactly.
Apparently lots have been sold and nothing said. Must be ok then

Ich habe leider jetzt auch ein Problem mit der ET. Bin davon ausgegangen, dass die I4 auch ET 54 hat und habe mir bei Aerie für Hinten 11x20 ET 45 bestellt. Versuche gerade Jason zu erreichen, ob man das noch ändern kann !!

I copied your specs, just another colour. Wasn’t aware yours is also a Turbo. Have your set already shipped?

Ja ist eine Turbo Emira.
Ich habe Jason gleich angeschrieben und gefragt ob die Felgen schon versendet sind. Habe noch keine Antwort bekommen.
Welche Maße haben Ihre Felgen?

Welchen ET haben Sie gewählt?
Bei mir ist es vorne ET 51 mm und hinten ET 45 mm.

Yes, exactly the same. It pushes the fronts out 12mm and the rears 15mm (on a V6) on the outside face of the rim. However with ET64 instead of ET54, the rears are pushed out 25mm reference to standard wheels, which is too much. It looks silly and will rub.
