To anyone with American Racing wheels.

I just found noticed a code stamped onto the backside of my wheels that says:

AR-117 (I assume that's the wheel model)
under that it says
15X8JET-19

I find that odd, because I was sold a 15x7 wheel as far as I know. Maybe it's a coincidence that stamp says 15X8?

Anyone have a similar stamp on their wheels?
I have the baja style.

Just went out and checked mine (I have the AR outlaw II wheels) and it says 16x8J which is the size I have. So it seems that this number is refering to size.

yup, that means it's a 15x8. i think the J or maybe even the whole JET marking specifies the back spacing. i don't know what the code is, but i know i have some wheels that are 15x7J and another set that are 15x7JJ and that has more back spacing. and then i have a set of 15x8JET. i don't know what all of this means, they're just the wheels i have lying around my garage. i bet the -19 mean that it's -19mm offset. but that's just a guess.

"J" and "JJ" refer to the flange type of the lip of the rim. It dictates what color weight to use.
