For brakes or wheel covers Petr?
AMC/Jeep gauges are for amusement only. Any correlation between them and reality is purely coincidental!

ahoj Petr. what is ET? are you talking about the wheel backspacing?, or about the hole size for the hub?, Again, many Jeep wheels, CJ or Cherokee will fit an Eagle. jz

Petr, I also am not sure what you mean by ET. 

The terms I am familiar with are backspacing and offset, which are somewhat related.  This thread

http://forums.amceaglesden.com/index.php?topic=18694.0

indicates the backspacing (measured from the back of the rim to the mounting surface) of the stock rims was 4.5". 

Offset measures the mounting surface in relation to the centerline of the wheel (as in a cross-section of the wheel, not through the bore hole).  If the mounting surface is closer to the front of the wheel, it is a positive offset.  If the mounting surface is closer to the back of the wheel, its a negative offset.

Here is a link to specs on Jeep wheels, which are similar to Eagle wheels.  This indicates that the center bore is 71.5 mm.

I have the American racing #AR895 on my Kammback in the 16x7 size.  They worked great.  I think I have 215/70-16 tires on them.  I believe I tried 215/75 and there would have been some rubbing which would have required some trimming, so I didn't go for the bigger size. 

Good luck!

Yes, it is if the rim is going inside, or outside the car. What I´m afraid, if I´ll buy trim with negative, wide will be inside and might be problems with turning. That waht I want to know how it is from factory.
That´s  backpasing, what we are talking about.
