Is there anyway to tell if wheels came off of an AWD vehicle? I purchased a set from eBay a few months ago, but am not sure how to tell if they are XI wheels... Anyone?

Do you know the offset (ET) of the wheels? It should be on the wheel somewhere... e.g. 9J ET 18

If they are true xi wheels, your ET should be around 40-45. Damn, C, you beat me to it!

They should be exactly ET43 if they are OEM, E60, xi wheels.

As I understand it, staggered wheels for an Xi are ET43 in front and ET55 in the rear. For non-staggered wheels, such as style 135, is it ET43 in for all the tires?
